If You Are Working From Home Right Now, Then Read This!!!

So I know a thing or two about the business world. Let’s just say I’ve done my fair share of entrepreneurship and business administration to know the do’s and don’ts of business. The biggest thing for me is that I see a lot of companies doing a lot of things wrong. Specifically, I see businesses starting to call their workers back from working at home to come back into the office. If you’re not quite sure what I’m talking about, the COVID19 pandemic caused our world to pretty much go into complete shut down, and a lot of businesses either closed completely or sent their employees to work from home. Many people actually enjoyed working at home, and we saw a lot of people commit themselves to working at home and really being productive during quarantine.

However, it is true that a lot of businesses are starting to pull their employees back into the office now that regulations are being lifted and more and more people are getting vaccinated. I personally am vaccinated, so I’m all set in that area. Yeah that’s right, I got both doses of the COVID19 vaccine and am all set for whatever kind of COVID virus comes my way. So in this article, I will be talking about some of the pros and cons of working from home, and this hopefully will serve as a guide for any business owners or managers who are trying to decide whether or not to bring their employees back to in-person work. Or, maybe you are trying to figure out if working remotely is something that you as an employee want; in that case, this article is for you too.

So first off, I must say that there are a lot of pros to working from home. Let’s start with talking about working from home first. I think the biggest benefit of working at home is that you don’t have to drive all the way to work, especially when it is busy on the roads or if it is rush hour or something like that. Not only do employees get to save on gas costs of traveling, it also reduces the total carbon emissions from a company’s employees which will help save the planet a little bit longer from its ultimate and inevitable destruction. Another benefit of working from home is that you do not have to worry about dressing up.

Now this depends on the person and the work; what I mean by this is that some businesses require employees to dress up in very formal attire and look extremely professional at work, while others require a simple business casual or even completely casual look. Where the difference is, is that some people enjoy dressing up while others don’t. I personally like to dress in business casual, because it is enough to get me in the mindset of working for the day, but it’s not to the point where it has to take a long time in the morning or be a big deal. I will say, working at home means you can get your mail quicker, and open those Amazon cardboard boxes faster to get your stuff faster. I absolutely love getting cardboard boxes in the mail because it means that I’ve gotten cool stuff.
