Work From Home

[jojopad]

This is what I'm trying to show my boss and my company, I do work on weekends and beyond office hours kahit walang OT pay, just to show them the benefit of WFH, sinasadya ko mag send ng fixes and updates and emails during off work hours and weekends para makita nila benefit. [emoji23] Unlike nung before pandemic they had to wait for the next work day to have the issue addressed.

Tingin ko yung mga extrovert workers yung hindi pwede sa remote/work from home. Gusto nila yung puro daldalan sa opis [emoji23]

Pero seriously, dapat gawin na lang ng mga workplaces yung katulad ng ginawa ng Spotify. Hayaan nila yung worker mag decide kung saan nila gusto mag work. Kung kaya naman magawa sa bahay na walang degrade sa deliverables, bakit hindi payagan?

Fortunate ako since 2013 may privilege ako mag work from home. Natatawa nga ako kapag pinapapasok ako sa opisina, nakikita ko yung mga nakaupo sa buwiset na open office spaces na walang ginawa kundi puro daldalan. Kapag nasa opis ako sira ang flow ko, hindi ko makuha yung "in the zone" moment.

One positive effect of the pandemic is that companies now have the option to allow wfh. For example, the IT-BPO sector is now allowed to register under BOI which allows wfh 100%! As for the rest of the PEZA registered enterprises, hangang dec 31 na lang ang 70-30.

Buti na lang sinunod ko instinct ko last week.. Nag-report ako sa office ng 4 days straight (minimum requirement 4 days per month na mag-office)..
First time ko ginawa na daily nasa office (except Monday).
Uulan pala hanggang weekend, payday pa bukas.. Good luck sa heavy traffic x2..
Salamat na hybrid set up pa kami, pwede na ako WFH until end of month..

[_Qwerty_]

sana all.. kami 2x wfh 3x onsite per week..

Seems like that's the standard. Mga friends ko puro ganyan. Bihira yung full WFH or 1/2x onsite.

Sa amin one day a week ang work from office. Teams should be scheduled to work on office on the same day. Para daw camaraderie or something.

Swerte lang ako at pinayagan ako WFH 100%. I just make sure na hindi ako MIA during work hours tulad nung iba kong ka officemate. Kaya nilagyan ko malakas na speaker yung workstation ko, may notification sound if I receive message sa chat or email, full volume para nagigising ako pag naka tulog at dinig ko kahit nasa kusina or cr.

I never believe that people can be more productive working from home.

Mas productive ako kapag WFH, mas masama pa mga sakin sa sobrang focus ko minsan hindi ako nakakain sa oras at hindi din nakaka-CR break.. At kung meron pa ako ginagawa na gusto ko mapagana napapa-OTY pa ako..
Kapag pumasok ako sa office, less productive sakin kasi maya't maya meron lalapit sakin at makikipag-usap.. At nakakapag-break ako dun at nakakapag-CR lagi na malayo pa kaya kakain din ng 3-5 mins.. I think mga 3-4 hours lang yung productive hours ko kapag nasa office ako..
Last US Holiday, pinapasok ko mga colleagues ko para lang maglaro kami ng card/board game na Werewolf at Avalon:The Resistance.. Natuwa naman ako kasi sobrang saya ng team, weeks na nakalipas, nababanggit pa sa chat yung mga nakakatawang nangyari (meron sila good memories)..
Pero meron talaga na iilan kahit required hindi pumapasok sa office swerte na makapasok sila once a month.. Ito yung may mga family na, wala na talaga sila interes maki-mingle sa team.. Remotely, hindi mo din sila maramdaman.. Minsan lang din sila mag-trabaho..
Kaya sa next project ko, kung may choice lang ayaw ko na sila katrabaho.. Masyado makasarili, wala sa vocabulary nila ang team collaboration.. Magpapaturo at hihingi ng tulong kapag hindi alam ang gagawin, pero kapag kailangan ng extra hand MIA na.. Buti pa task nila natapos na kasi tinulungan, pero wala na pakialam sa iba.. Sana humanap na lang sila ng work na mag-isa lang sila magta-trabaho, tutal yun naman gusto nila.. [emoji23][emoji1308] Isa silang bot sa chat since di mo sila kilala in human form..
Unfair lang minsan, nakakadagdag sila sa stress pero sila sarap ng buhay..

I have an officemate na lugi company pag WFH sya. One hour after the shift "idle" na, AFK na. Lalo na pag few hours before shift ends mahimbing na tulog non. Ako taga gising pag hinahanap ng client via fb messenger, sms at call. Hindi nagigising.

Meron naman sa ibang company, hirap din hanapin during WFH, day shift, this is during pandemic, Yun pala nag carinderia while shift. Pagkatapos ng WFH ng company nila nag resign at itinuloy na lang ang carinderia. [emoji23]

Ikaw din pala taga-gising.. Ako din yung taga-hanap sa mga MIA, gamit ko nga lang ay whatsapp, sms and call.. Mas ok na nga magpaalam na mismo, kaysa yung mawawala lang ng walang pasabi-sabi bahala na lang manghula o maghintay yung may kailangan sa kanya..

Since the site is paywalled, here is a link to the group which created the study (there is a lot more research here, too):

WFH Research | Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes



As a person who has done WFH, ran teams remotely, and managed hybrid teams from different parts of the world, I can tell you that there is no one-size-fits-all approach primarily because there are socio-economic and cultural nuances which can be factors.

For instance, people in big cities typically can do WFH because the internet infrastructure is robust and more reliable than some people in rural areas. However, people in big cities typically have smaller apartments where it is far more difficult to delineate a workspace vs "home-space" (including the distractions that go along with it, like chores).

There are industries as well where WFH will just not make sense (logistics, healthcare) and cultures where it won't fit (Japan) or bureacracies that rely heavily on paper documents (Philippines and Germany).


In developing countries like the Philippines, it is even more difficult to do WFH because of socio-economic reasons: small homes, bigger families, lack of robust internet access, lack of air-conditioning, lack of home automation like dishwashers and washing machines, and a host of others. All this put together can result in a distracted office worker without the necessary stimuli to be productive.

Sa observation ko sa anak ko na WFH, she really maintains the shift. Typical office day din, na pag maluwag nakikipag chat din sa officemates. Actually, pakinabang pa ang company kasi she also puts in OTY frequently because of overseas call na hindi swak sa shift nya due to time zone difference. Ngayon na 3 days office na sila, ganun pa rin, once she gets home, she rushes to open her laptop to take scheduled calls

[_Qwerty_]

sa amin pag WFH kailangan online ka parati sa Teams.. except break time.. pag hindi sumasagot sa team.. tinatawagan ko sa phone..

[xwangbu]

Moved to a new company with WFH as one of the primary benefits.
Kahit nasa Pinas they allow me to do that.
My previous job rdi pwede.

Kaya mga tao dito magkikita lang once or twice in 2 months.

Is productivity affected? In a way. Kasi there are some tasks na hindi nila maipaliwanag or mai-demo remotely so they need to re-schedule. But overall outcome - no issues sa management as long as ma-close mga contracts.

Luckily our company walang problema sa WFH. You even need to justify why you need to go to the office. Sa account namin, mabuti na lang at lahat eh professional. Sa team namin ng mga devs, may sarili kaming Teams GC where we share the status of our workload. Tanong-tanong kapag may di maintindihan. Sasalo ng tickets pag loaded na yung isa. Nagbibilin rin kami sa gc kapag magsstep out kung may errands, etc. Kakatapos lang ng 2Q townhall namin, same update pa rin regarding WFH setup.

[papi smith]

Medyo malabo sa akin ung pag WFH ay less productive, or bulakbol. If that's the case kasi, employee attitude na yan di ba? So you bring them to office para mabantayan mo, di ba sayang time mo. If alam mo bulakbol pag WFH di tanggalin. May mechanisms in place naman to protect both company and employee from these situations. I'm sure you will be doing the same kung nasa office sya at below par ang performance.
