Working from home is not easy

Dear Readers, COVID-19 is the disease of lots of learning, this pandemic changed the world completely, the way of looking of the many stuffs has been changed of the world, now most of the things happened digital, and people love to stay home now, now social distancing is the major concern, and it should be the, the government is spreading the slogan i.e "2 गज दूरी मास्क है जरुरी", because this is only the initial vaccine to save our self, world is working on create a good vaccine currently, this is the big challenge which world have after China's expansionist policy, hahaha... correct, China is continuously working on to spread their boarders and due to this issue world is under the threat, also the latest hobby is to be the world most powerful nation such as America, but i think America and Russia knew this and they are trying to make China down, but do know know... what will happen, China is really great threat for the world, now the terrorists coming to India from Pakistan contains the Chinese weapons, it means China supporting terrorists also or just selling the weapons to Pakistan and Pakistan doing the effective utilization of those weapons... anything is possible, Anyway this is not our topic, we will discuss about the "work from home".

How many of you working from home these days, some of you are okay for work from home because you have the fixed login time and logout time, you work gets completed or somehow your company fixed the time of it, but most of us are working 24x7 these days, there is only login time, but there is not logout time of it, I am working in an MNC and it is service based software company, i have two standup meeting in a day, login time is 9 AM and starts with the status call, after that we have again status call at 3:00 PM, then working till midnight for the morning status, this is the story of my work from home, and i think same is for many person, this is actually very hectic and manager thinks like this is lockdown period and people will not go anywhere, so they do not need to take leaves and need to go outside , it means the resources will remain in the home, and it means need to work, the employees are nothing more than a resource, hahaha... what the hell is this, we engineers are counted as resource i.e human resource, we are also human and we need the time to take rest, we need the leave to spend time with family, but it does not happens, most of the company have the policy for employee friendly and they actually wants to keep the employee tension free, but at the ground managers are actually dealing the things and everything the gets destroyed at this end, i do not know some managers are made with which soil, they are really amazing, leaves are like atom bomb for them, taking leaves means a kind of heart attack of him/hear... 😁 hahaha... It is true, if you have worked in many corporate companies then you must have faced such person in your life.

Following few main points i have noticed which is the major bullets during the WFH ( work from home) festival:

1. No time of logout
2. Work independently
3. Minimal support on any of the work item.
4. No leaves at all
5. Meeting any time
6. No breakfast
7. No lunch
8. No Dinner
9. Debug the issues during lunch/breakfast/dinner time.
10. No time for family
11. Work late night
12. Twice daily standup meeting
13. Long meetings and calls

What the hell is this life, 😆 Really, Since the lockdown i am thinking to setup a shop and resign, i am completely fed-up with all of this, Share your experience what do you faced, it is the critical time,  most of the companies firing their employees, there are thousands of the people are jobless, many IT companies fired their employees, and manager always takes the benefit of these news, we are also afraid in some extent, this is the critical point which is often raised by the manager in the meeting, so that we can work without any question continuously 24x7.

Earlier most of us were thinking to work from home, but now we are thinking about office, and waiting to be opened, so that we cannot work at weekends at least, this COVID situation changed the infrastructure and life of many people, now companies completely sure that the WFH is possible for the employee, and most of the things we can do online, the world is transformed from offline to online, the internet became the vital things now, and the consumption of the internet is so high, if we talk about India the government said Netflix, Amazon prime, youtube and other media platform to reduce the quality till SD ( standard definition) only.


The pain of software engineers are very high, if you belongs to the same domain then you can easily understand it, there are many surveys where most of the software engineers are trying to setup their own shop or other kind of business to resign the job, the mental pressure are very high and work pressure is on the top, also the work life balance are not good. Most of the engineers are having no time to spend with family and social life is completely zero, also the job security and safety is the major concern.

I have 8 years of working experience and currently working in Gurgaon based MNC, i do not have the work life balance well, and mental pressure is too high, and always becoming into the trouble of the job safety.
