The Downside of Working at Home


For almost two years, I've been working at home doing online job. Most people think that it is very convenient. Well yeah but sometimes its not.

Here are some problems that I myself is facing in this type of job:
  • Boredom. Working at home means working alone. No work mates you can literally talk too. You'll be spending your day inside your house or room doing the same thing every day. For those who are not homebodies, obviously you'll get bored easily.
  • Laziness. If you're working in an office, its a must for you to wake up early so you'll not go cramming on your way to your workplace. But if you're working at home, your home is your workplace and you won't be having the need to wake up early. You can start your job in your pajamas, no one will complain because no one will see unless if you'll be doing video call with your client. You don't want them to see your grumpy face.
Disadvantages of  having an online job
  • No Benefits
  • No Company Outings
  • No Year-End Parties
After all this problems and disadvantages of working from home and having an online job, I love and enjoyed it. I was honored and lucky, at the same time, to have a very understanding, kind and perfectionist boss. Aside from helping me make my own living, she helped me learn more and grow. She motivates me to make my own goal and push myself to get to it.
