work from meme

Everything was great. We were living the best of our lives and then everything changed overnight. 

Coronavirus! Yes, I know, sounds super infuriating. 

The World had to undergo an enforced lockdown,  and social isolation became a new way of living. The only way to stay connected with loved ones is through video calls and even schools started with the concept of classes using various applications.

Not just this, because of the global lockdown more than 80% of the workforce has been confined to work from home.

Well, who doesn’t like working from home? No hassle of looking presentable or worrying about that annoying colleague driving you crazy. Just roll out the bed and get started with your work in no time. Sounds super comfy, isn’t it? 

But that’s not the case with everyone. For some people working from home feels like a real headache because it gets really frustrating for them to manage the work process; especially for the ones who don’t have any prior experience of working from home.

Here are some major challenges faced by people who are working from home for the first time:

  1. Lack of energy
  2. Having access to the required technology
  3. Frequent distractions
  4. Improper team management
  5. Working and managing kids
  6. Communication with the team

I can understand that it can be overwhelming to adapt to this new style of working for many. However, no matter how tough things get, you always have various ways to keep your life filled with happiness and laughter, one such opportunity is right here! 

Let’s forget about all the fuss caused by the pandemic for some time and enjoy some of the funniest work from home memes that every working professional will relate to.
