Who wouldn’t want to work from home? You set your own hours, and don’t have anyone on your back, ordering you to work faster or to do things differently. Despite its advantages, however, being remote isn’t the perfect work solution for many employees.

Summary

COVID-19 transformed many conventional firms into work-from-home (WFH) companies.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the emerging COVID-19 virus had become a dangerous pandemic. The virus changed the world for working people. Suddenly, Zoom became an essential tool, as did Google Meet, Slack, Skype, Wi-Fi, smartphones and webcams.
