In today’s turbulent environment with rapid technology
or economy development, the face of modern society has been changing with each
passing day. The invention of stream engine brought a new era of worldwide economy;
the employment electricity has multiplied the productivity and virtually
reproduced limited resources on the earth; the innovation of the Internet has
made the Earth a little village and connected distant countries as a single
market.
Unsurprisingly, a new working style has been emerging
recently, that is working from house. Just as the comprehensions of Hamlet are
different from readers to readers, there are some divergences concerning the
issue whether it is practical to work at home or not. From my respect, the cons
far overweight the pros.
1. Obviously,
there are flexible arrangements when at home; such as take care of children and
the old; if project runs well, you can even dance or sing anytime; no more 9 am
to 6 pm routine as you can begin whenever you feel great; wear pajama all day. Nevertheless, these comfortable cases won’t
keep you stay in a busy statue. Psychologist suggests that appropriate pressure
can promote the effectiveness of work, thus leisure phenomenon may introduce
plain slacking. According to investigations,
most people find themselves resenting office workplace due to tension and
pressure in office. Actually, that trying
to confront and hit a competitive goal is an absolutely jump-start of your new
career stage, as it pays to challenge yourself!
2. Some
people assert that less interruption by colleagues stopping by your cubicle
three times in an hour will increase the effectiveness of work. However, we must cast doubt on this issue by
providing that working from home is only suitable for people who are able to
apply discipline and practice to daily habits. Distractions come from other
forms. As there is no supervisor to keep eyes on you, it is easily to be
attracted by diverse online resources such online shop, the newest released
movie, unrelated chores or topics initiated by family members.
3. Another
apparent pro of work from house is low cost.
Businessman will save significant amount on skyrocketing rent and utility
bills. Besides, a larger candidate pool will bring in many benefits, because entrepreneur
can look much further afield for employees. It is possible to profitably employ
people who live in different time zones by comparable low expense. Thinking critically and on the other hand,
some authorities figure out that this method is hard to organize, dispatch and
control. People often get more
inspirations through face to face meeting or discussion than online communication.
Definitely at house you will not communicate with colleagues often as in office.
Consequently, you may miss out on valuable
group discussions or meetings. Furthermore, there will be less likely to get
promotion for people working at home, on the grounds that they are not
routinely meeting with the rest of teams and managers, thus they cannot be
properly evaluated. This is a valid concern depending on the process used to
target employees for advancement. In
addition, data security is a key. An employee will access to sensitive company
information from private computer, which may lead to potential disclosure as it
is possible that an employee inadvertently download a virus through private PC
and then upload it to the cooperate server or network.
