Pros of working from home:
- My own bathroom
- My own kitchen
- No commute
- Incredible flexibility
Pros from working at an office:
- Someone can print a meme and post it in the bathroom for me to look at
- bobkazamakis 4y agoMore pros for working in an office: forced to engage in "funtivities" mandatory lunches with people who find mayonnaise too spicy. spend your money and time commuting we've got a mandatory meeting at 6pm, so you're gonna need to find your way back to the office after you're done.
- SantalBlush 4y agoYep. And these sorts of activities were devised by people who build their social lives around work. The office is full of productivity killers.
- musicale 4y agoI hate offices (open-plan offices being particularly hellish) but there are some advantages: - possibly fewer home-based distractions and interruptions - not living at work
- musicale 4y agoFrom management's perspective, working at home has major disadvantages: - increased privacy for employees - increased autonomy for employees - increased flexibility for employees - neutralizes many office-based company rules and restrictions - makes employee surveillance more difficult - undermines supervisor role of monitoring and control - public shaming, punishment and abuse tactics are less effective - less visibility for supervisors - less empowering/status-enhancing for supervisors - possibly smaller and less important role of company in employees' lives etc.
