The Management posted:Wfh a few days a week is great. Doing it everyday is a great way to be forgotten by your colleagues and bosses and left out of important hallway conversations, lunches, and beers where actual decisions are made. Also nobody likes to have the guy on speaker at their meeting so they just won't invite you. If you're hoping your boss notices your performance during review time but he can barely remember what your face looks like, well, don't count on that bonus. This man presents some decent points.

Pros: You can roam around the house all day in fatty comfy sweatpants and work on your own schedule. Cons: Your own schedule will be doing 1 hour of work in between browsing the Internet for 3 hours and then maybe going back to doing the work. Pro tip: Please have a separate office space. Your 'office' should ideally not be the kitchen table/a corner in your living room. But if it has to be it has to be.

I just accepted an office job two weeks ago, after working from home for 3 years. It's good being around other people again, but it was gooder rolling out of bed at 7:59 to log in at 8:00. Wondering if I've made a huge mistake.

I get to work from home two days a week and it's great to stay in pjs on my home days and sneak 3 day weekends in whenever I can but I think I'm going crazier from that much less face to face social interaction- even if some of my coworkers are nobs.

I work from home and travel 2-3 days per week. I happened to luck into the perfect job and I'll never go back to working normally. All my co-workers work from home and travel also, including my managers, so there's nobody in an actual office. As long as I get my work done, I have absolute autonomy to schedule my visits and travel, which often ends up with me playing PS4 and watching tv at home, or hiking/seeing the cities I'm visiting and finishing my reports on the plane or late at night before I fall asleep in the hotel.

Generally speaking its good if you have any sort of self control and motivation. In my case I freelance game design/development so if I dont meet deadlines I dont eat so I have to keep on top of my work loads. Some weeks its like having 3-4 jobs due to overlapping schedules and various projects (both work and around the house) so it can get pretty hectic. Otherwise its fantastic creatively speaking because if I have writer's block or not in "the groove" I can get off my rear end and go mow the lawn or do something tangible and meaningful around the house vs wandering aimlessly around an office trying to look busy, even on breaks. The hardest part for me is the 'guilt' of not spending time with the family although its the 'work day' and I have legit poo poo to be doing to earn a buck. Other times its great to be able to just sit and take a day off without asking for permission from some rear end in a top hat in the office next to you. In terms of saving money - a definite plus. I save all sorts of money (and time) on food/lunches, commuting and all that sort of bullshit that traps you in the work-sleep-work cycle. So ultimately even though I do maybe 4-5 hours of "work" in a day I am far more effective in those hours and actually do better work. The downside to this of course for me I get no "paid vacations" or specific timeoff - everything I do is on my time one way or another so it makes it harder to break away from doing work even on weekends or even when you're deathly ill. I had a surgery not too long ago and had to be at the computer a day or two after to talk to clients and it sucked. Slayerjerman fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Dec 7, 2016 |

Freelancing is a lot of fun if you can do it. But you need a) a skill people will actually pay you to perform and b) a work ethic that will keep you working and not just playing wow until you get bedsores. Being an antisocial weirdo with a sleep disorder is a major plus. Basically it's the perfect job for people who hate people.

About 1/3 of my work comes from freelancing, and if I don't make a concerted effort to get out to a coffee shop or the library to do some work, I start to get a little stir crazy staying at home. Going an entire day without seeing anyone or really saying anything is pretty depressing. But it's a grass-is-greener situation, because when I've worked in offices I've also gotten sick of my coworkers.

counterpoint: i used to work from home and hated it. i found i need a place to go after work that isn't work, and walking past "the office" after-hours and on weekends and seeing work waiting to be done ruined my mood. eventually the cum built up on the screen so thick i couldn't see so i went back to the office.

Working from home also means you live at your job so if that sounds like fun then enjoy.

I worked from home once a week at my first job as a dev and when I moved cities they offered to keep me on and I could work remotely. It was tempting but I don't have the discipline. I would often watch netflix most of the day when working at home. Now I hate my job and watch the clock all day

Devonaut posted:Working from home also means you live at your job so if that sounds like fun then enjoy. Yeah, but then your job has a bed and a refrigerator full of poo poo you like and Netflix and porn and video games and your dog and NO loving COWORKERS OR CUSTOMERS TO DEAL WITH. If that lovely construction materials company I used to work for had that, I wouldn't have left.
