Within a month of COVID-19 taking a hold within North American borders, Forbes published Three Warning Signs That Your Remote Employees Are Starting To Crack Under The Stress Of Working From Home. Now, the question remains as to whether or not this article was a reflection upon what was occurring to date, or a heads up for the wave of the increased workers who quickly were forced to create home offices.
Well, the writer of this article, her friends and her clients, all from various professions, almost immediately discovered the following stressors: Grocery delivery orders arriving too early, and in the middle of appointments. Extra time needed to set-up virtual meetings. Kids and pets, though cute, demanding attention all day and at the most interesting moments. Email exchanges having seemingly to go way past the typical workday schedule. Workspaces being either too dark or too light, and uncomfortable. Not one of these stressors politely immerged slowly. In fact, they all felt as if they descended at the same time.
