Work from home or Work from office?

by•
Someone told me a line, which I thought would be good for a discussion to have: Accept it - "If you can't trust your team to work from home; you don't trust them at all." Ps: I like to work from the office Please share your comments and views on the same.

Hybride, I go to the office for the big meeting that can take a lot of time. And for my personnal mission, remote work!

@enola_vedovotto Hi, I wanted to understand from you when you are remote working, what is your duration on the calls/meetings and how much time is actually devoted to work apart from meetings? Also, what are the working hours, do you have to clock some hours and does it exceed the number of hours in most cases?

work from home definitely. I know that it doesn't help much with the economy but the time I saved going back and forth to the office is extremely precious. Each time I got back from work when I was still working at the office I'm completely exhausted to do anything other than just eat, browse social media, and sleep. Now I can even squeeze some time cooking, baking, and even doing groceries by offsetting my work time.

@legonaidas As per your comment I can understand 2 things, either your employer put a lot of work on you or either the work was not completed in the office hours? Because how much ever work is there, I’m sure you can squeeze some time for yourself and not everyday there is work, some days are easy as well.

@shalin_doshi I've worked with a BPO company before as part of the escalations team and the workload isn't really that heavy and there's a bit of a downtime.. the only problem is that I have to travel daily to the office which usually takes an hour or more depending on traffic since I only use public transportation. My work isn't exactly that hard back then and I can finish all of it in 3 hours and would spend the rest of the time managing agents. Now I work on video animation which requires a certain time to brainstorm on how the animation would play out

@legonaidas Travelling is a hassle I agree. But wouldn’t brainstorming sessions be better at work?

I solved this question for myself two years ago when I became a freelancer. Remote work is the best thing that could be invented.
Shalin Doshi
@dannyvento my simple question, do you consider we work space as a remote space?

Work from home, but it demands a high degree of self-control (those snacks are so tempting, as is the idea of a daily siesta), and discipline. I've done it for years, but I've seen how people struggled with it during lockdowns in 2020.
Shalin Doshi
@geetanjalishrivastava ma’am I believe that more of a lifestyle decision which ones needs to make, even during covid I made a point to workout at home and control on the diet because how good the food is it always makes you lazy after consumed a lot. Struggle with WFH ? Obviously people in India aren’t used to that culture yet. Hence this is a covid trend in India
Geetanjali Shrivastava
@shalin_doshi Not just in India, I've seen people struggle with WFH and its implications even in the US and also in France, where I'm currently based. As an entrepreneur, I find WFH can be liberating for employees. Our entire team works remotely, and we have worked beautifully over the last one year, despite the challenges that the mode presents.
Shalin Doshi
@geetanjalishrivastava WFH is mostly a trend which has just pick up recently. Would you’ll say if you met in person and worked the process could have been shortened by 20% ?

Because we are busy building our major version of the current product, sitting in the same office is more convenient for problem discussion. And new team members also can build a good relationships with current members. If some guys need to work from home sometimes, we can support that.
Shalin Doshi
@zhitao_yan true, I'm totally pro for that, but still some people feel wfh is better than working fom office I believe things need to be stated clearly for every individual before joining the organisation.

I prefer to work from home. It is much more convenient and allows me to better distribute my free time during the day. Besides, I know many outsourcing companies with which I actively cooperate, for example https://binerals.com/blog/reason... . This is also an advantage of working remotely.
Shalin Doshi
@emillia_frodden Not necessary, because you can network more when around people.

Hey @shalin_doshi ! I was used to working in the office at first because I really liked how easy communication was and the ability to interact with my coworkers on a daily basis. Now that I've moved to being fully remote, I initially found it challenging to stay focused and I would get easily distracted. But now that I've started with my current company and use our platform to work with my team and connect with our users, I can see how remote work continues to evolve! At oVice (ovice.in), we provide access to virtual spaces for our users where they can customize it and make it their own! You can turn it into a virtual office, host events, study space, etc. Our goal is to really optimize the remote work experience by giving our users the ability to interact with their peers in real time. This helps promote productivity and collaboration and I feel it can really help you stay focused, no matter where you are in the world! Check us out at tour-en.ovice.in to have a look around and see how it works.
Shalin Doshi
@jonathan_ovice I can understand this, but what I feel is, if you were in a wework space or any other. You can network more and grow your audience faster.
