Because of the internet, many professionals are now able to earn a living without having to go to the office everyday. There are people employed by companies who work at home and simply communicate and submit their work through the internet. Others start their own online business. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of working at home in terms of how it affects the other aspects of a person's life?

Everywhere you go there's an internet access. Even at home we can research, play, communication to others by email or chat. The advantages of working at home are: you can do all you want, as long as you submitted your work, less expenses to your trasportation to office, you can think many ideas because of the environment and relaxing place. The disadvantage is there would be a chance to damage or infect our eyes because of the reflection of the computer.

NOOO WAAAY!!!!! I really don't want to work at home, because I am not the type of person who want to be alone (well guys I just see myself that if I work at home, I would became a loner), Iam afraid to be alone, I just want to have people around whom I could talk and share some information, stories and most importantly "jokes" to share my luaghters also.. but aside from that, I don't want to work at home because it would not help me boost my confidence and also in business personal selling is really important because that would help us to build relationship in our clients/customers. interpersonal relationship is also important with a person and I believe that working outside would relly help us to apply porperly our knowledge and also we could be more exposed to the real world scenario in which there are also the possibilities in gaining additional information, learning from others

I agree with macky, I don't want to work at home as well since I don't have the big responsibilty at home like those mothers does, I don't need to spend most of my time at house working! I want to experience working at the real word!, a real working place, with people/workmates whom I can actually interact with... 'coz I believe that these experiences will help to grow and become a better employee.. besides when you just work at house, you won't be able to enjoy your working hours, you won't experience necessary things that you could obtain at your work place and there's no social life there... like what macky said, intrapersonal relationship is important as well since there are some things that you can't do and you won't learn all by yourself.

working at home or not it depends on the person

Yup!!! It's just a matter of choice. Very Happy

mayannecoquia Mon Dec 17, 2007 11:39 pm

Yes.. Because in our current generation, using online negotiation help us to make a deal much easier such as selling and buying of primary needs or even ordinary products.. In this strategy we could find all the information about the product that we want to purchase/buy and it is also convinient for the consumer that they don't have to go at the mall personally, they just have to go online.. Wink

yes, it is much more convenient to work online but still it's much better if you're working on transactions specially business personally because the disadvantage the online business and transactions give is that you're not sure of the person you are dealing to if he / she really is interested about your product and if he/she is really the person you are dealing to.

i agree.. what would happen to our social life if we all look up to each other with our business transactions via web

yah ur right just be more knowledgeable and must know all the info before any transactions wil be made... Very Happy

and yes, products that are offered online are "unique" and mostly, these products are hard to find in the malls (maybe that is the reason why online products are expensive).

not all online products are expensive.. Smile

maybe its expensive because its hard to find, and it is limited..

This are the advantages and disadvantages of working at home.

Advantage:
1. You dont have boss to follow.
2. you have your own time.
3. no more traffics every morning.
4. you can work anywhere you want as long as you have your own computer..
5. No time pressure.

Disadvantage:
1. No social life.
2. Less friends.
3. Not exciting...

Yes BOSS!!! We can manage our own time....and we have no guarantee that our product will be sold in the internet.

Thats the advantage I've been talking bout...hahahhah But it sucks when you don't have social life and friends...

right jj! sometimes, it is much better if we work in the outside world for us to develop relationships with other people…cguro, working at home with the help of the internet can be a side line/part time job (extra income din!) Very Happy

i agree w/ you jacque that when we work at home there are many advantages also like doing things we like to do especially when we already finished our task, and we have a good and relaxing environment. we can rest on time and to finish teh work early because you are not pressured, because we don't see our supervisors, good environment will help us a lot to think ideas and to hhave creative output as well as to have good decision making because you all have your time. and i agree regarding the disadvantages of it because our eyes will be damage, and for us who are not 20 20 vision we must take care of our eyes. tnx.. GOD bless..u

Advantages working at home: it is an easy transaction, easy access.;While working at home you can still have time for your family and other household chores; You have enough time for yourself, you don't need a boss just to dictate on you. You can have your own strategy on your job and at the same you can choose what you wanted to do. And of course no working hours, you don't need to wake up early in the morning just to go to the office and face the heavy traffics at the same time you can relax all day long.

Disadvantages: No social life of coarse, you could not interact with others personally. It makes a person irresponsible and lazy. No time management because there is no specific time to go to work. No challenge in dealing with others and it makes you feel bored also.

gerald_sanchez Tue Dec 18, 2007 3:18 am

working online lessens a person's social life??? (may nagpost n2 di ko lng maalala kung sino...)
i don't think so... there's what we call nowadays as "ONLINE COMMUNITY". where people all over the world could interact through the web... gamers get to challenge other gamers from different countries thus improving their strategies in gaming... entrepreneurs and businesspeople could do their transaction online with their clients from other countries allowing them to earn more... others get to chat with other cultures.
doing activities online doesn't lessen a person's social life in fact it allows a person to broaden his/her social skills!!!

kung lalabas ng bahay may chance na masaksak ka or manakawan or maaksidente...hehe!!!

Smile

tama!!!

Answer: ADVANTAGES: working at home and submit their work through internet sure has a lot of advantages. theseare: 1.) It saves time for those people who works at home with the help of internet. since they don't need to go to their respective offices/employers and just stay at their houses, these people could make the most out of their time, like spending quality time with their loved ones, do their responsibilties at home and anything else that they couldn't do when they go to their workplace.
2.) Reduces stress. they could reduce the stress they get in their workplace, with their officemates,etc. plus they also avoid the hasslement of their everyday ride/travel they have to take when going to their offices and stress it causes (such as traffic, expenses and pollution).

DISADVANTAGES: But then these advantages comes also with disadvantages such as:
1.) it is hard to work without the physical interaction with the people involve with your work since you just stay at home and you won't be able to show them how eager you are with your work, how hard-working and trustworthy you are. Is is still important thay you have this bond with those people you work with, just like what they say, "two heads are better than one." there are these certain things that you might be needing the help and presence of other people.
2.) with regards to no.1 disadvantage, you won't be able to build strong relationship with others and you might not also gain their absolute loyalty and trust which isvery important for those individuals who's into online business.

Working at home can really reduce stress.
1.no pressure in work.
2.hazzle-free.Avoid daily hazzle such as heavy traffic
3.avoid conflict with other employees
4.working at home provide time to spend quality time with their family.

wow, rannie and kristine. you're both very smart! unbelievable!

you're so right.
wahahahaha What a Face

raisa_marie Tue Dec 18, 2007 8:42 am

but guys, come to think of it, purchasing products online could protect you from embarassments in the sense of creating such transactions only involves you and the other person at the end. No one could hear or even get to know what you are actually buying.

Working online can be said that it is for convenience, you as a person can spend your time working at home and not forced to go in the office just to meet your responsibilities in your job. With the help of the internet, you will be able to do your job at any time you want with the least effort….hehehe.
You can also spend extra time with your family if you work online but still it doesn’t mean that all the time you can spend with them because even working online requires you to spend time for it.

Right! It's still better to buy on malls/stores where we can see and touch the actual product, and get the product right on time (after paying it!)

Plus you don't have to pay for the shipping and handling of the product. ipang-merienda mo na lng.hehehe =)
