The “perks” of working from home
I asked my twitter friends to help me come up with some “perks” of working from home (twitter handle is marked by comment). Some are serious and some poke fun at the misconceptions. The underoos one is totally serious.
1. You can conference call in your pajamas. And the person on the other end of the phone has no idea you’re in your Wonder Woman Underoos.
2. Your office hours are set, you know, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.
3. Your commute to work is a flight of stairs away.
4. Good news! You’re “always” available because you “don’t have a real job” –@MiaWatts
5. You don’t have to talk to any pesky human beings — @MariaMelee
6. You are your own boss. Negative–you are your own boss so when shit hits the fan, it all blows on you.
7. You can set your work pace. For me that means hyperspeed.
8. CON–Self-employment Tax (nuff said)
9. I’m always here when my family needs me. Con–I’m always here when my family needs me.
10. You’re doing what you love. Con–some people assume that because you do what you love, it’s a hobby, not a career.
Do you have any perks (serious or not) about working from home?
