I asked one of my relative in the middle-east how working from home is for her. She said it was really tiresome and she was very unhappy. She works in the airline industry that has been the worst hit during this pandemic. A lot of people have been fired. So everyone else is expected to do more work now. One way they are exploiting work from home employees is to not fix any timing (in the name of flexible working hours) - so instructions are sent at any time of the day with the expectation that they need to be acted upon immediately or the same day, and the work pile is so much that you have to spend long hours - sometime way past midnight to complete it. She is now actually so relieved to work again at the office, as her work is now confined to the "normal" 9 AM to 6 PM. That was an interesting insight for me. And I now understand better why France and Germany have passed legislation (or are considering) on not calling or emailing employees beyond work hours (unless they are willing to pay over time pay).
