I get some of it. There are significant benefits for many (if not most) people working from home.
Like lesser costs for commute & lunch and the ability to manage time more efficiently.
But also companies are demanding to check in regularly or monitor your (digital) activity.
They profit from the internet connection you pay for, for free.
Those who have the luxury of a spare room to create a 'home office' are not compensated for it.
And those who do not, are expected to manage their home situation so they can work/ have digital meetings.
We've all seen the funny videos of a family member, roommate or child interrupting a meeting. We've seen people lash out against others for it.
But isn't it strange that it is accepted that the people who live in the same house are expected to change their behavior in the privacy of their own home?
I'm not advocating for returning to the companies offices but I hope people will be cautious and aware of the risk that companies might (and probably will) try to control more of your private life and expect the work to be prioritized over it.
