Bosses expect you are available 24/7 because hello, you are at home anyway right?

i find myself spending lesser time with family. I am physically here but glued to my machine due to workload.
you are expected to have that sense of urgency because economy isnt good, so better be on your toes and give that extra mile.
more than 10 hours a day
7 days a week

WFH has turned my otherwise decent working life to a corporate slave nightmare overnight.

I am exhausted and has come to hate my job in these past few months.

ok back to work tq for coming to my tedtalk

/poorpeoplevent

Same here. I find myself unable to slackoff cos everyone knows im superavailable since im at home

ok

yeah, that's the downside to WFH.

depends on your position
my wfh experience is damn balance lifestyle

in my situation now, the only ppl who are free are the junior levels and operation staffs who are ignorant
even the C-Levels are online and working at this minute, not just the managers

is it the same over there?

my problem with WFH is hard to communicate

im saying this as an introvert

thats how hard it is

eh? online meeting where got meet also ?

Errmm aku rasa best gila wfh
Sempat masak
Sempat study
Kerja 9 jam
Habis waktu kerja aku dah xlayan even if it is from my boss but my current boss never kacau me after work

well said.
but now i no fucuk given anymore.
off on weekends but OT abit on weekdays

saved 2 hours of driving to work everyday

Kecian, my wfh so much fun. Wake up late, check email while having breakfast or in a toilet. Reply important email and continue my day playing game unless there is some important meeting that i need to join online.

I feel you( boss won’t find the right timing to find you.. just keep texting you only

There should be new SOP to limit working hours at home. Such as all company work to be done through company laptop, which has daily usage time limit. Pass the time limit, and it will auto log off with 5 min warning. System access will be blocked until the next working day.

May sound ridiculous, but if wfh becomes long term norm, surely such a system will be implemented.

This i agree with you. I have someone above me on holiday mood whenever he wfh. Its more difficult to get things done. Then higher pressure but good part is C level notice my effort. When covid19 come to an end. I don't want to live my life like this.

pros n cons.

pros, not a single second being wasted.

cons, you cannot ular anymore :lol; ....but damn....even im in opis or no in opis. my job scope is 24/7

sad life

you can't leave work stress at the office when your home is the office lol.

sorry to hear. must have been difficult

jeles sgt. hidup aku total opposite.

thanks but how do you set that boundary? phone calls, texts and email incoming non stop asking for progress and outcome. ignore then monday mati? direct reports apologize at one corner but furious when its not done on another.

Yea man sad..

My feeling exactly

My feeling exactly

I strongly dislikes bringing work home

sounds great but you and i both know it will never be a reality

Hate to be the cold bucket but fyi, C level noticed me since march. thats about it. noticed and acknowledge. thanked and appreciated. after a while, it doesnt motivate you to stay positive anymore.

Got try new recipe on youtube??

True but it's fun to see him scold the person above me. I'm just going to take what ever positives I can get until the situation improves. Long term work like this not good for health. Just hang in there. Most likely we'll see a lot of job hopping once the economy recover and covid19 ends.

wfh is not bad.

your boss is bad.

understand the difference.

Dis.

office or home, 5.30pm i turn off my laptop.

ular in /k
less stress

Well if I was the boss ayam not paying workers to fap off during work hours...

Even if not wfh, wassaps and emels keep coming also. Same thing.

Nehmind on the brightside you can surf /k see ukeke thread

Jk i think it largely falls to your company's culture instead

i dont have a pervert boss who fapping while spying on me fapping

It depends on the management and bosses. If they are pushy, then memang gg la. Luckily mine are quite understanding

Legit bro. My gf same case...

No life at all. Her official working hour is 830 to 530 but when wfh, before 8 have 1 meeting with very atas punya orang. Every fucking day.

Then sometimes kerja all the way til 9pm. That day she finish work and need to go out to do her things, the very atas punya orang called for meeting at 9pm. Wow. 24 hours of your life is theirs punya. At least for those orang atas.

Plus muka tebal sial, sudah tau but put a thick face and said (and I overheard) during the meeting, "I know some of you probably don't like me" ayam be like, the way you talk also orang luar will bitch slap you liao. His tone and words is memang asking for penampar one.

100% China man apek. I finally understand why my gf mau lari after few years here.

Wad role is your gf? Finance or cosec?

Designer are in worst case scenario during wfh

Kenot reveal too much. I takut got spy here link the story and the meeting. Plus the meeting got like 30 pax or so. Lmao

But to do with business juga la. Large corporate.

If meeting just to listen only ok lo...worse is those kena ask ques punya meeting

And I personally kinda same also. I just joined this kompeni and we work remote/wfh for now (overseas kompeni, might fly to another country when pandemic dies down)

I make a joke on the group channel, got this 1 half senior fella didn't catch the wave then got pissed off since last week until now. Apa2 pun the fella don't reply me or even ask me or tag me. Literally became invi to the fella lololol

I'm not butthurt but it's just annoying the person isn't acknowledging you there. Probably the fella see ayam potentially overtake their position because of how I talk to clients and superiors. Especially that one sentence our direct superior very much agreed with me.

It's just so hard to please everyone or make ppl understand things over the internet.

Problem is the meeting kena buka video. TMD..

Then the apek was like "if you all busy at 9pm, next time I schedule this meeting middle of the night. I'm sure you'll be available."

In serious tone, no fk kidding here. Cb betul. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sadistic mfk there

You hear dy you also dulan even if u don't work for them. Lolol. I was working and I heard it. Got worked up about it.

Others jilat him? Or behsong?

i never like WFH, thats why i request go back office.

What an asshole.

kesian

which chinaman company u work in?

I dont enjoy wfm.

Initially still super glad but as months go by, I realize its kind of bad to work this way.
I already demotivated to work for the project and without anybody around me, things just get worse.

I thk I feel too confortable wfm, it makes me lazy and too complacent to work.

I had chosen the easy path and had decided to move on.

Many also tak shiok la hahahahaha

WFH like once a week at your own choosing is fine but wfh the entire time, most kompeni will expect a lot of you...

It's just how you manage.

I don't see why need to slave yourself away when working from home.

Be discipline and respect your own personal time.

Dont let them take an inch and you will be fine or it'll go downhill from there

I love it. Janji join meeting/standup/demo etc, other times, sukak hati janji project jalan.

WFH best! I can do my project without disturbance. The only drawback is no printer.

Same case here, have to work even at night. But i cant complain since daytime, half of the working hours I'll be busy with kids. Had to apologize for missing so many meetings.

Wife have to go to office because her boss complaining productivity down. Government owned company, so have to follow order. Most vendor close, tak faham go to office for what.

Not just the boss. Everyone working at their own pace and time.

Been doing this WFH for my main job.

The good? I could also do my secondary jobs without any hinderance. I get what needs to be done and it gets done fairly quickly because no one interrupts to ask me to solve any issues. The only thing that does distract me is every now and then I browse too much of /k and something from my secondary job calls upon for my attention.

The bad? Bosses are working from home too and they seem to forget some of us live at different time zones. I have 7 meetings per week that I have to sit in including 3 where I am not supposed to be there but have to be there as my immediate boss is on medical leave for a month and I have to take his place.

The other bad is it does feel as if work never ends and that end of work day feels illusionary.

lol, i am a manager, depends on efficiency and management skill

WFH in overseas is great. You get beers sent to your house and you stop working from 5pm.

y dont tell the apek that u r not free after office hours?

my WFH experience -
need take care both my kids ( 5yrs and 8months baby)
mostly can do work at morning when they still asleep, noon and above, mostly i need to take care my kids
my wife is working at office, so its totally me alone take care both kids.

i prefer WFH once or twice a week

Me too

Run your own business la, bet it will easier

untung la sempat main mafia

Sounds like working two job wfh!

First of all, why you hate people that work on junior and operation staffs level?

Of course they on operation side, they have to present at the workplace and focus on company operational side such as dealing with customers, clients etc.

I don't understand why you want to be judgemental to them. During the normal days, you guys that upper from them can shake legs and don't give a damn on what happening to operational side, only know taichi here and there, blame here and there. And some of you don't even know what's happening and pretending to know everything by hearing people said this and that to you without asking personally to the person working on operational or junior level.

The reason why I say this, because people like you are damn ignorant. Before judging other people being ignorant, you need to evaluate yourself during your time at workplace. Yes, I'm working on operational side and I can see some of you behave like this.

And the most funny thing with these people that need to backup operational side sometimes, they can't do their job, they can't even speak properly to customer/client. Even basic thing also cannot do.

out vpn only avaialble mon to fri, 8am to 7pm

Nop,

working from 9AM to 6PM.

After that never kacau anymore. Will kacau back tomorrow at 9AM. Sometime no kacau at all, so I can sleep till 1PM. Then wake up only start do my work.

+999999999

U in sme? What industry?

Especially those who is deep in dept or bought too many houses than they could afford. Some of them work 24/7 so they expect you to work hard like them, work your ass off spend 100% energy on work (no energy to piap after that, received bj only so waifu start looking for other man), he owes a lot of money = you owes a lot of money.

worse is those chinaman boss who own the company.

he think he work hard, sacrifice own time energy money, everyone should do the same. but profit all he will take because he's the owner.

Mine GM more geng he say cmco means all come back home to work. All staff hv to come back office including managers

my WFH experience is very different from yours.

Lol, then blame your boss...

I around 6pm (late2 also 7pm) done. No one kacau me.

If got message in Teams also, next day can check.

My WFH experience is vastly different then.

30 % got infected in work place, like it or not

WFH has been the best for me...

WFH is awesome for me.

Can bust a nut whenever I feel a job task stressing me out, or Bodo Emailz

WFH for me is to become the chef of the house, take care of house, wash clothes. Still better than waste petrol going to office, parking. At least can /k all day.

my situation same with u, but add on 2 kids, and 4 of my neighbours doing reno at the same time. constant drilling and hammering sound.

Happened to my wife too. She wfh. Everyday got ppl call after 8pm.

I just answer the call and tell them my wife bz cooking/feed my son/bz lipat kain. Lepastu dey never call again.

been in the same shoes but slightly better...9am to 6pm work and meeting every morning, from time to time report about work in whatsapp group but max alsp 2 times je i did but of cz sat and sun i work no one know too so boss still think im free

Uol wait lar

Bos start to ask

Since u no need petrol come office
Lu salary no need so high

ok what!? just entertain them 8 to 5 only lo

can access email 24/7 = working 24/7

9pm also call me sending out documents

cb i go out dapao lunch also scare like hell... there was once my manager asked me for urgent online meeting while im out eating lunch

finding myself get email even on weekend due to WFH....no life man

nice to have superb background noise of my child's 10am kindergarten Zoom class at the same time with my office MS Teams meeting...

...my boss then change schedule to 3pm after that exciting session..

WFH hard to get anything done

A lot people ular ular

or some idiot doing renovation upstairs during a MS teams meeting

Can hear drilling sound.

very nice, very work-life balance.

but got give an take depend on your position la.

my company even ask us to install spy software ourselves
really feel like blocking that program from dns
but hey deploy mouse move

stay strong brother. =(

8.30am - 6.30pm max for me. more than that they can fly kite

It took a while to adjust, but my work life balance is pretty reasonable now. I still sometimes work beyond normal hours, but it's compensated through other times being quiet.

Really happy with WFH so far. Hope can continue.

I love wfh even with my kids bising2 the whole day ...just miss lepak with my officemate

yes as i always say WFH is sucks, the place where u usually apply comfort become also the place u stress....
and the mood of working is very low

and wasting own resource more example electricity, or some use own pc equipment etc

if your house is small and if your line of duty need speak to customer on phone a lot will have not so much freedom of speak freely and need lower the voice tone.

at office all day can aircond but house if aircond 8 hours very high electricity bill, use fan whole day very hot sometimes..need mix mix fan + aircond, some ppl renting house dont have aircond then wholeday use fan hot

and some job nature in office is more quicker can solve the problem compare to at home, let's say u are busy and need arrange your colleague to help if in office can direct speak but at home need call them and they might lie u say gt a customer on hand tengah busy, for managing level is very hard cause need assign job
