I've always wondered what it would be like to work from home. It seems like it would be pretty chill. Anyone in GBS work from home? What are the pros and cons?

It's a terrible scam - don't fall for it, and don't fall for ot-exempt salaried positions. You will get burnt out, and your sanctuary will make you miserable

It takes self-discipline to not get distracted. It can also get a lil lonely when you miss having coworkers physically present to chat with. Posting helps

It's amazing and if i ever have to work at an office again I might die. Play games, watch porn, eat actual food, save so much on laundry & commuting, which gives me more time to work out, which all keeps my stress levels at an all time low. I don't miss my co workers one bit, it's so nice and quiet at home. I can't think of one down side. Edit: save even more time by doing some house cleaning on the clock. Walk the dog on my break so that's one less thing to do "after work " LethalGeek fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Dec 6, 2016 |

Working from home is just an excuse I use for doing something else instead of working.

Ah, yes, "working" from home. I recommend work pc and play pc side-by-side. You know, in case you have downtime.

I love working from home. There have been some great books written about how much time is wasted at work and how much time we, as a modern society, waste because we must be present at work, even if we aren't working 100% of the time for whatever reason. If you have a desk job, think about how much (or little) time you spend at work actually working hard and focusing. The rest is just a massive waste of your life, when you could be doing something else. Doesn't matter if it's playing video games or working on personal projects or spending time with family, that time is no longer wasted when you aren't forced to stay at work when you aren't really working. Plus commuting is a huge waste of time, money and resources for millions of people. .

I have a program that shakes my mouse every 60 seconds so it maintains my "busy" status in skype for business. This alllows me time to yearn for human contact.

I decided to start working from home a couple of years back, but I'm starting have regrets because I still haven't figured out who's supposed to be paying me for it.

Working from home owns when you live with parents and have your own room upstairs and thus nobody ever knows if you are working or not, so not only everybody needs to be quiet but also you do no chores around the house. Source: my sister.

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.

I'm personally ok with them forgetting I exist as long as the paychecks keep coming. It's annoying at times but being pretty autonomous is freeing.

I did it for a few months. It has a lot of pros such as being home during the day and getting things done without constant distraction. However you need to be disciplined and have a set goal. You will eventually get stir crazy and hate your home office and I wouldn't want to do it long term.

"Work from home" really just means "don't work very much at all" in most cases. If someone else is paying you to do it then it's good. If you are not in someone else's employ then it's bad because you will not output anything of note and go broke. Exceptions granted for like freelance coders or whatever.
