The Differences Of Working From Home Vs Working At An Office Hilariously Explained In 8 Comics

I'm very introverted, so working from home makes me actually enjoy the interactions I get to have with my father, my friends when I can, and the people I meet at the dog park. When I worked from the office, most of the time I was too tired of people to actually want to see anyone at all on my time off. To me, less interaction means more quality interaction.

On the days I work at home I still keep in contact with my co-workers (really no choice there, its part of working together) but I find being at home is quieter making it easier to concentrate. My wife makes sure I don't become a recluse or work too many days in a row from home :-).

I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. Constantly on the phone and in touch. Plus I get to play with my dogs and cats during the day!

It would suit me just fine.

nuh uh unicorns for life!

Yes, I agree!

No, puppies are the best for everything!

Giraffe pj's get my vote

Or open floor plans where everyone can hear everyone! I have the ability to make my home office much quieter than the work office.

The lady in the cube next to mine sneezes louder than anyone I've ever met.

What I would give to not hear the phone ringing constantly. *twitches slightly *

Idk why you got downvotes it might not be EVERY office but there are certainly people in most office settings that make it extremely difficult to talk on the phone because they are very VERY loud

YES! I work with one of these. If i ignore him he'll talk to the back of my head. UGH

Put on some headphones and your problem is solved

well yes, we have at least one noisy person but still, there are times when it was a complete silence in office

Absolutely agree! They didn't even know how run out of patience they are...

I sit next to a throat clearer. I counted once: 84 “uh-HUM!”s in 74 minutes. Until 38 more years until I’m retired. Hopefully.

Exactly 😩

I'm afraid I may be that sort of person when I grow up...

sad but true :(

Not to mention that you don´t have to deal with annoying colleagues.

Your times are still the same, it's just that you don't waste time getting dressed up and commuting, so you get to sleep more. If you start at 9, you can get up at 8:30 or so, eat breakfast and get to work. If had to go to an office, you'd have to get up much earlier to get ready to be there by 9.

oh noooo did you get in trouble

I'm reading this during math.

Omg

i suppose it's why they forbid to have a non-shut-down phone in most schools here...

I actually find there are more distraction at the office than at home.

You don’t. As in, you are always distracted.

I get a ton more work done at home.Social Media doesn't actually distract me.

If you work for commission like I do, you don't work -- you don't eat!

Just remember all the bills you have to pay. It works for me most of the time...

There are distractions but the few times I've been allowed to work from home it almost seems like I'm more busy because all my files and numbers are at my desk and I have to research everything just to get a phone number

It is not easy. Takes discipline. It helps to be busy and write down tasks and take notes so you have something to cross off.

I work in a Shop in the yard, or in a separate sewing room. My phone's in there with me but it's running my audio book and my work is in my hands- it's hard to get bored when your work requires full attention.

We don't.

This is distracting me right now!

Set goals about what needs to be done and not leave the desk until they are done. I ended up gaining a lot of weight working from home because I was so focused on getting everything done that I didn't exercise much.

You schedule yourself 10 min or so breaks every 40 min/1h to check stuff and ignore all not work related notifications when it's not time for that. I did that at the office, I do that at home. It actually helps you keep the focus on the work and don't let the quality drop when you're not working non-stop for hours.

Working from home takes a lot of discipline. If it was easy. most peoples would be doing it.

What you describe is the office party before midnight. What the picture shows is the office party after midnight. At least that's how it happens where I work :p

“Oh .... um... hey.. there Bill.....”

We're luck at my place of work.. We all get along with each other and go for quite a few of social gatherings

we always had to fight over the microwave you have the whole office taking lunch at same time and you only have half hour, then you have everyone pulling frozen meals out of the freezer that takes 10 min to heat
