The blurring of the line between personal and professional life: Working from home reduces the geographic division between the workplace and personal space. It also punches a hole right through the calm, safe, and secure mental picturization we have of our homes.

Distraction: Being drenched in house chores, personal hobbies, and surrounded by the family can really take the target off workers’ eyes. Sticking to schedules, managing their to-do’s can make it really hard for people to focus on work all the time.

With no co-workers around, working from home can be lonely: Not being able to bounce ideas off co-workers, interact with them, share pleasantries, can be hard for some, and make them feel lonely.

Lack of interaction affects team building: Lack of interaction can be a detriment to team building, something that builds over conversations at the office, lunch, meetings, etc. Working remotely makes it difficult to maintain relationships with co-workers, and communication over Digital channels might not be as effective and it can also be unresponsive. Such circumstances also affect customer-client relationships since approval, approbation, feedbacks cannot be obtained over texts or e-mails.

Working remotely can mean inconsistent pay: Full-time job guarantees payment at the end of the month regardless, however when working from home during this time, monthly income can be unreliable, and always changing. People can be swamped with work, still, be unpaid.
