Why working from home is not for everyone

I have had many co-workers who either got fired or resigned because telecommuting is not for them.

Here are the reasons:

It’s just too boring. There’s no looking forward to having a nice lunch with friends. No after office shopping sprees with your girlfriends. No gossips in the pantry area.

It can get really hot at home. I can’t afford to turn on the airconditioner the whole day especially if it needs to be on at night too. Imagine yourself working while sweating or breathing hot air from your monitor.

The bed is just a few steps away. It seems to call your name every hour.

Lots of great movies to watch during day time. TV shows included. The next thing you know, it’s five o’clock and you’re so far from done.

For single people – no chance to meet someone new.

There are so many excuses that you can come up with why you weren’t able to finish your job. There was a brown out, your internet went down, your PC crashed, you had a virus, your phone line is not working, it’s too hot, you’re too lazy, you slept too late.
