The Untold Confessions of Working From Home

Millions of us have experienced working from home like never before. Once seen as a trusted privilege, working from home has quickly become an enforced rule for so many. 

But what does ‘working from home’ actually look like? We anonymously surveyed home workers to ask their working from home confessions that they had not yet shared with anyone. We wanted to find out some of the guilty confessions to get a sense of what it has been like, not to just work from home, but to face a global nightmare while trying to get some work done at home! Some of these are pretty hilarious.

“Not more than 10 minutes before a super important meeting with the company’s CEO, MD, my manager and all senior people, I got VEERY, VERY SICK.

It’s fair to say offices exist for a reason. We wouldn’t dare get away with some of these antics in the workplace! It’s basically total chaos for many of us when working from home. Some of us love it, others of us cannot wait to be back swiping our fobs to get in and actually seeing colleagues. Thankfully, it won’t last forever, but it was very entertaining to hear some of your working from home confessions.
