The advantages of working from home

[dheeruyadav]

what you think what are the advantages of working from home?

Oh, there are lots and lots of it! first, you don't have to do the daily commute, you don't have to face your grumpy boss or your nasty officemates. You get to be there when your children needs you. And if you're lucky enough, you can earn more than what your boss is paying you.

But admittedly, working at home is not for everyone. Read articles in the web to see more of the pros and cons of working at home.

But as for me, I love it!

[krrish]

Be your own boss-this is the greatest advantage of it.Do whatever you like,work whenever you want to & how...it's your choice.You can also give more times on it which isn't possible in case you work in a office.One important thing is you can utilise your spare times to make money.

I think there are many advantages of working from home. One of the main advantages now is the money it saves you on not having to buy gasoline. It is also more convenient for me because as an independent contractor I can make my own schedule. If one of my children gets sick or has a school function I want to go to, I don't have to ask anyone if I can take a day off. I have been so lucky to have such a great experience working from home. I couldn't ever imagine going back out into the workforce.

I think one of the biggest advantages of working from home is being able to work comfortably. I able to get a lot more done when I work from home because I can sit down and focus for long periods of time because I am so comfortable.

[djschwab]

One of the biggest advantages to me is to work in the comfort of my home. You don't have all the distraction you would normally have in an office.

The problem with working from home is that we all know that working hard isn't what gets you ahead in a lot of corporate cultures; it is the interaction with peers and your bosses that truly makes you stand out.

working from home is fine if you aren't concerned with your long time career goals.

I understand where you are coming from but there are some positions where that is not totally the case. Take a good Software Developer. They can work as contractors from home and still be offered very good positions at companies.

I want to be able to work from home so bad to spend more time with my family and have more time to volunteer to help others. Don't know how yet but I will make it happen.

Working from home will give a pleasant experience than from office.Where as from home, we can have our own timings and we are the boss of our own. Can also spent more time with family.

The biggest advantage of working at home, for me, is that I don't have the commute. We don't have a public transportation system where I live, so my working from home saves time and gasoline, as well as wear and tear on my vehicle.

Another advantage is that I can throw a load of laundry in the washer and be there to get it into the dryer right away. Also, I can work on preparing meals for my family throughout the day instead of rushing home right after work to throw something "quick and easy" (and maybe not as healthy) together. I also like being at home to recieve deliveries, or let a maintainance person, cable repair person, etc. into our apartment, if needed. It just works out well all the way around!

I don't want to work under anyone so the biggest advantage to working from home is that you can be your own boss and this is also good for those who take some time in adjusting themselves in nasty environment like(with managers, clerks etc. etc.)

[wizzard]

I would just like to have a job

You can set your own hours and you could even work without getting changed.

The downside would be that you would miss working with others, especially if you love the social aspect of an office.

[chikoo]

People who want to work from home must think thoroughly. They might get scammed. There are a lot of scammers out there. They may get cheap pay. Anyway pay level are rewarded according to skill level. Work from home can be done part-time and full time. Only skilled worker can do it full time.

[rcf5005]

It would be nice to do that, but unfortunately I'm an engineer, and that's not too conducive to working at home. Maybe someday I'll open my own LLC and be able to use my home as an office, but ultimately I don't think I would be able to do it.

[mattesonb]

I am disabled and would love to work at home. Physically I can no longer go out and jump the hurdles that are required to run a successful business. The problem I am seeing after months and months of research; is that everything I find is a scam. It makes someone a lot of money, just not you.

[cuitw]

I would like to raise a point that you have to make yourself a time table/work schedule and follow it strictly. No excuse. I once worked for a overseas company without an office in my country so I worked at home 70% of the time and one day I found myself became lazy, slept till 10 or 11 sometimes and just kick around when there was works to do. I then made a time table for myself and have it corrected.

There are indeed a number of advantages of working from home. One gets to be one's own boss, deciding one's work hours and he could inject a lot of creativity and lend his personal touch to whatever he is venturing into. There is a lot of scope for improvisation and diversification if one chooses to operate from home. One could then integrate his work with his domestic life, thus enjoying the best of family life.

Working form has many advantages...

One does not have to spend on travel and hence no column for fuel expense in the balance sheet !!!

Further, the working hours are flexible and one can work at his own will and time. There is no peer pressure and no anxiety from an angry boss!!!

Though...there is also one bigger disadvantage if one is married....

There will be constant pestering and nagging from the big House Boss....Your Own Wife !!!!:p

Working home-based is now an accepted way of making money. There are now a lot of companies who are outsourcing some of their needs to contractors based at home. For these companies, it could mean a great savings plus they are tapping some great talents as well. For home-based workers, there area lot of advantages. First, of course is the fact that there is no need to commute to work -- it is now called telecommuting. Surely, you can save a lot of time, money and pressure while working at home. For working mothers, this could be a great blessing. Working at home can then be great for families.

Next, you can be your own boss actually. As an independent contractor, you have the choice of the jobs you can accept and the amount of time you could focus into it. At last, you are spared of the office politics and there is no more need to maintain a good co-workers' relationship since you are on your own. In other words, you got flexibility of your own and there is no need to fit in into the organization.

Satisfaction. A lot of successful home-based workers won't ever trade their newly found career path because of the great satisfaction doing it. Imagine, you are just on the living room and you are just wearing pajamas but still earning good money. Who will never be satisfied with that?

Great potential. Right now, home-based business is the way to the future. You can then expand your world from a mere worker to having a business of your own with global potential. From your home to the whole globe.

Advantages
1. No need to roam around to search jobs.
2. Boss doesn't scold you for coming late
3. You get highly paid
4. You come to know many different people.

Disadvantages
1. You are not sure you will really get paid or not.

No doubt, there are lots of advantages working from home.
Firstly and most importantly, its being able to have the comfort of being at home and you don't have to worry about your attire, how you dress etc.
Besides that there's a flexible working hour and you can just decide on when and where you want to work.

Not having to see the angry face of your boss is a good thing too. No more worries about being late at work, no morning rush and you can have control of your time.

I'm still working in a regular work environment right now, but I plan to start working from home in the near future. I want to be able to manage my time between my kids and my work. Currently, I'm away from home so much because of work, I get to see my kids sometimes once or twice a month. The separation really breaks my heart, seeing them cry when I go. I don't want my kids to think that I don't love them. I want to be near them and see them grow.

Good ... this has two sides . not this particular topic. every topic has two things one is the positive & the other will be the negative.
The advantage of working from home :
# We can relax more,
# We can work for more time,
# Not much commitment ,

Disadvantages
# we become lazy being at home,
# we strain our self being more with the computer,
# postponing the work given or taken

[clise]

From my experience:

Pros
1. Less petrol spend : Apart from going out occasionally for shopping and get some errand done, I spend time indoors.
2. Working with comfort and freedom : No dress attire, no annoying boss and we can complete our job on a sofa or just anywhere we want.

Cons
1. Scammer alert : Be careful with every contract.
2. Discipline:p : Trust me, you’ll need lots and lots of it. Working on your own means no one to order you around. If you lack of this, you’ll meet your end fast enough.

If you can find something legitimate, or run your own business, the joys of working from home are many. From spending time with your family, to cutting out traffic, to working for yourself. I know I have enjoyed being able to do what I like in terms of hours, and to set my own pay.

Besides, you can get away from office politics. lol

[sathyan]

you left one of the most important advantage that is we don ont want to bother about the weather outside.

[r1superman]

There are many advantages to working at home, even though I probably would never do it. First of all it saves gas. You can also be more involved with your family and spend more time with your kids. Not only that but it would be more comfortable working at home. You can dress however you like.

[powerlifer]

Ive worked from home for many years now and it has great advantages.

One being i can wake up that bit later and just not have to rush getting in the shower and doing my hair etc.

The second being that i don't have to eat the horrible bad pre-packed food that is sold everywhere i can make my own healthy lunch.

The third is i can fit in exercise easily which i wouldn't able to do working in the office.

The two main disadvantages is that its easy to get distracted, end up on your ps3 or listening to music, browsing online.

And the lack of social interaction is a huge worry now i have social anxiety.

If we are having a steady income, or if our work from home has a good income then it would be better that we stay at home and work , the only disadvantage i see that is the lack of public relations in our daily life. but we can have more time in our day to day life , it will be a great to be a family man within the family always !! caring our children and loved ones the way they want .

No fear for anyone , feel free to have a holiday, chit chat as much as you want no restrictions on anything FREE life in all
