<p>People who do not work from home may wish that hey did, why would you want to?</p> <p> </p> <p>For those who have experience of working from home, please share the benefits and downsides of working from home.</p>
In my experience the benefits were:
A flexible time arrangement, I was given assignments with a fixed deadline and so I was given freedom on how many hours I spent on each assignment. the output was accepted as long as it met the employers quality standards.
I felt more comfortable working from my own computer as I am more comfortable with the operating system and the keyboard I use.
I could multi task at will, again I had freedom in the way I perfomed my tasks as my output was the only thing being judged.
The main drawback was that I eventually lost motivation to work due to lack of any workplace interaction. The only interaction I had with my employer was when I was accepting assignments and recieving payments. There was no interaction with any colleague.
