I think more companies are embracing the work from home mentality because the freedom you get from it. To be able to work from home, usually from your own hours, is quite nice. Now some business allowing remote work will set you on a certain time frame, but most of the time it's based on your availability.

I think more companies will do it, as it could maybe save money, save time, and so on.

I started working remotely long before people witnessed the lockdown. I started working full time as a work from home professional since 2013. The best thing about working remotely is you can work from the comfort of your home and you do not have to spend money on travelling. However, when you are working remotely, there will be also a lot of distractions, especially if you have kids at home.

I have also heard about certain scientists working at remote locations. I wonder how do they handle being alone at such places. I work at home and I rarely get distracted.

Well, there are many people who tend to work in remote locations and they have to communicate with the outside world through many different ways. Astronauts work in the international space station and they are isolated from the whole world, but still they tend to communicate with others.

Disadvantage of remote work is actually finding it hard to concentrate, so many distractions and you spend more on internet. But an advantage is the flexibility you get working from home. There are softwares available for employers to use to manage their teams.

There should always be a means of constant communication and checking in for workers who are working remotely because it is the only way to ensure that they are engaging in the job they are supposed to do while being at home.
