When NOT Even a Cozy Home Can Make You Work from Home
Having to work at home may be a blessing or a curse to various groups of individuals. Where some prefer to work
from the confines of their homes, some prefer to work in a corporate setting.
If you prefer to work from home, you need to take into consideration the following disadvantages:
Lack of social life
Juggling time between the kids and work at home may be an all-consuming effort that could leave very little time
for social interaction with other people. Unlike having an office-based job wherein regular Christmas parties and
company events are held, there are not much social events for a work-at-home person to go to.
Distraction from work
While in the middle of writing a good article, the baby might wail and needs to be changed, the mailman might
arrive and require a document to be signed as proof of receipt, or the school might call to inform you that the
middle child had been sick. Thus, the momentum or surge of energy flow that could have produced an award-winning
article had gone down the drain due to some distractions. This probably is one of the greatest setbacks of doing
home-based work as compared to doing work in the office where you can dedicate the whole days just for working on a
certain project.
Personal grooming
Unlike having to dress up to go to work, individuals who work from home might not find the need for proper grooming
or going with the latest fashion. Not being able to look your best might contribute to your lack of
self-confidence, which through some chain of events, could result to unproductiveness.
With the mentioned work-from-home pros and cons, you are now more empowered to come up with an informed decision on
what to expect or what trials to surmount if you choose to finally settle for a work-at-home arrangement, may it be
a business or a telecommute job.
