What are the advantages and disadvantages of working remotely? What is the future of remote work? Include any relevant example from your own experience.
About three years ago, the Covid-19 pandemic hit the planet and made everyone, including
companies
, change their routines. Hence
, several companies
changed their strategies and become some departments remotely, which created new opportunities for those who always wished to work
from home. Although
remote work
provides several benefits, especially comfortable and peace, others are concerned about traditional positions where people used to work
in person. In this
relevant topic, I'd like to share my viewpoint referents both sides and the future of working remotely.
To commence, remote jobs became a great business for companies
to cut costs and hire the best employees wherever they are. Consequently
, the saved income can be used for investments in several other areas of the companies
. For example
, Google hired many professionals from different fields in different countries to work
remotely last
year, and they helped Google's development department understand the needs of each location. Besides
, the company transformed the revenue saved into investments in cutting-edge technologies. According to
my experience, humanity is living in an interconnected world in which the internet become all places near each other and folks are sharing pieces of information in time. Then
, remote work
is a reality.
On the other hand
, in some countries, people were not used to working remotely and this
requires organization and discipline. As a result
, many professionals lost their jobs for not effectively dealing with their professional and personal lives in the same environment, and others developed some mental disorders because they worked uncontrollably. In this
sense, Harvard University conducted a survey of professionals who work
remotely and about 70% suffer from anxiety and depression, with many saying that the main problem is not having coworkers in person to have free time to talk. In this
way, there is only one thing that no technology can take away from human beings, personal relationships.
In conclusion, no one takes away technologies and remote work
from the future and individuals should adapt and develop some skills to follow the new digital world. Indeed, there are millions of advantages and some dangerous disadvantages, and people must handle both sides.Submitted by murilo.siqueira2012 on
