How "Work from home" will make things worse in the long run

Coronavirus, The devil of doom has set a worldwide job crisis, companies are forced to keep the employs in few numbers in a futile attempt to restrict the fall of the economy. Who are not frequent computer operators have no choice but a 40% salary cut or even worse getting fired from their job.

The recent concepts of "Work from home" inspired form the IT industries are getting popular every second, form the lessons of agriculture to artificial intelligence everything is done online at home. There is no denying the fact that "Home is not a happy place for everyone, It can also be the centre of abuse" a firm belief of Ashwini Deshpande an Indian economist.

This blog will give an overview of the top 10 divides that you can relate in a work from home atmosphere, which seems to have waning success in the long run.

1. It can cause gender divides

Work from home can surprisingly lead to gender divides, take an example of a family with a boy and a girl for a single computer, there are more chances that the boy is prefered over a girl as the stereotype goes in the society, this causes an educational upset in the family and can convey a wrong message to the girl child.

2. Flexibility leads to vulnerability

In a work from home environment, we are blessed with flexible work hours as well as place, surely we can work on our desk, bedroom, balcony, hospital, car, coffee shop and even in the kitchen any time we want, but our misplaced deadline leads to procrastination and consequently incomplete project.

3. Clash between slabbing 

When a family has only one system at home, the elder one gets access because the family thinks that the studies on a higher level are more important. The smaller one is not given any attention and he ends up developing a grudge against the elder brother or sister.

4. A lot of learning happens outside the classroom

In an online class, most teachers just deliver the lesson followed by assignments, there is no exchange of views between student-teacher or student-student, and the class in just completed. On the contrary, in a normal class, the students get more understanding with the discussion they have among each other or with the teacher. The real-world factor acts as a catalyst in learning.

5. Problems of working parents

Let's take an example of a family where both the parents are working, they will occupy all the devices in their home, and the children will not be able to attend the online class, if the house has only one computer this can cause a fight between parents. In any condition, the small childer are effected.

6. Socio-economic fear

If someone is economically weak but somehow manages to attend the class, his visible room will become a topic of gossip, this may hurt the sentiments of the person. He can also develop an inferiority complex for his economical condition. 

7. Internet connectivity 

This is the most important factor for a work from home environment, if you do not have a stable internet connection, it might cost you your job and even a year, for a college-going graduate. Most people in rural areas are still deprived of basic internet connectivity. BharatNet which was successful in patching the rural areas of south India has not extended his boundaries. The rest of the rural are still excluded from the Internet. 

8. Slanting of viewpoints

In a webinar or a live video meeting, one has to give its ears sincerely for a few hours. In an attempt to make the meeting more engaging the boss often tries to be a bit humorous; and expects a response in exchange, this is interpreted differently from another perspective, your clueless partner will have a misconception that you are just sitting and having fun with friends. This cause soreness in the relationship.     

9. Domestic Violence

A home is not a good place for everyone, It can also be the centre of abuse, In a home different person has different beliefs, men in the house are not used to taking suggestions to form their partner they think that they are considered as weak, the female partner who had the intention of motivating his partner ends up receiving the unexpected reply and this clash becomes domestic violence sometimes. This is more fearful as they are not allowed to go outside and nobody can stop the fearful male domination in the house.

10. Stressed housewives

When everyone is working from home the housewives suffer the most, they have to quench the demands of all the family members by serving them with all they need, everyone fights for the TV, everyone has a bucket list of food they want to try, everyone occupies a different room which makes the cleaning to be difficult, so the housewives are not getting time to relax and might result in conflicts.

Conclusion 

While the world connects together to fight for living the basic problems of a household have emerged as a hindrance in the process, on should not only relate with these problems but also try to understand the perspective that we often ignore.
