What exactly is remote working? Remote work means working far from where your employer is located. For example, if you work at home but your employer's offices are 10 miles away, you are a remote worker. In a remote working situation or arrangement, the worker does not commute to or travel to an office building, warehouse, etc. Since the advent of the internet a few decades ago, he or she does not travel to a central workplace. How we work, study, shop, bank, play, spend our leisure time, communicate, and gather data has changed significantly today. We can have video conferences, communicate by text, mobile phone, and email, and we can store our work in the cloud for colleagues and bosses to access. New technology is making remote work possible for a growing number of people. Since the year 2000, the number of people working remotely has been gradually increasing. The coronavirus pandemic, which hit in 2020, has accelerated this trend significantly. Many employees who had to work remotely do not want to go back to the office. Large corporations such as Google are allowing many of their staffers to continue working from home. If you are considering remote working, you need to be willing to give up some of the benefits of being with others in an office. You will meet your colleagues less often and have fewer opportunities to forget about personal problems with workplace banter. What about getting together with workmates for a drink at the end of the day? These are some things you might miss.
