The disadvantages are the health problems that occur if a remote worker is sitting at home all day, physically and mentally. These can take years to begin manifesting themselves and are really bad if the remote worker can't self identify them.
- blisterpeanuts 11y agoWhat kind of health problems? I've been working remote for about three years now and so far, haven't noticed any problems in myself. Certainly it's made it easier to jump on the home elliptical, lift a few weights, do a few chin-ups, or run outside for 45 mins. Back when I was in an office downtown, it was an expensive and time consuming project to go out 4-5 times a week to a gym at lunchtime or after work, then need to shower immediately before you can be around your workmates again, etc. I'm also so much more relaxed now that I don't have to commute. That was a real stressor.
