I've never had a priviledge to work from home. I heard from my friend it is very difficult to WFH.

In view of total lockdown that will be implemented this tuesday, I wonder whether it is really productive to work from home.

Funny you might ask.
I joined my current company last year during MCO in April.
Have been WFH since then.
I've only met my boss less than 5 times.

Most Malaysians, you know I know la. Say "working", just show up as online on Slack or Microsoft Teams or whatever caveman era IM tool work uses, then other tablet/computer scrolling FB/Twitter/YouTube. Naisuuuu

EDIT: Remember to move your mouse every 5 mins or use auto clicker so your IM tool doesn't go idle/offline

stressed honestly.. work never end even after 6 or weekends
atleast in office after 6 can forget everything and continue the next day

wad job you do?

banking

yup... can have been working from home for > 15 months now.. i don't like working from home though but basically not much difference in term off productivity.. i chill whenever i can cause the moment crunch time comes most likely have to work 60 days straight without proper weekend breaks.. i still have datelines to meet.

just imagine your roomate amoi also WFH, half way you kerja, she ask you help her take video for her onlyfans extra income

you can focus ?

Was great before kids. Harder now.

You already WFH what, every day spamming your anjeng kerajaan shit

For backend, no issue with WFH.

Example.
Reviewing invoices, purchase order, etc, approve or reject.
Insufficient support document, use work phone to contact requester and email them.
The only problem is offline document submission by requester.
Although the online system had been implemented 8 years ago and it is quite convenient and easy to use, I have no idea why many requesters still submit paper forms.
So, still have to go office to collect, scan those forms into system, then back at home and continue to work until 5 pm.


For frontline, there is no chance of WFH.

Never got the opportunity to work from home.

My job is on the operation side. I need to move around in my workplace to check here and there.

Last time I work in 100% office environment, but end up I quit because I feel so bored to be honest working in full office environment.

End up I find a job that mixed with both environments. Office and outside office.

Been WFH since MCO 1.0, the only complaint from me if I’m in a meeting and my 3 years old son knocking on my wfh room door nonstop

Apart from that, no issue for me

bolehland WFH is not work hours TBH.

in bolehland tukey eyes, WFH = 24 x 7 work.

MCO 1.0 ; WFH until around June, then office rotation during RMCO (flexible, can go back to WFH whenever)
CMCO in Oct; WFH
MCO 3.0; all WFH
Lockdown; all WFH

No issues with WFH, company has profits, can sustain >12 months even if no income

Yes, can. Legal related job, with proper planning maybe can wfh half a month.

I think the best is 9 to 10am have a video call with boss, to check on daily task (work alone abit depressing one).

clock out at 7-9pm.

Wfh since last year march ... u say leh.

Damn hard especially if wife have to go to office as part of essential service. Meanwhile got a team to run, and 2 toddler, and lots of meeting. Stop sending to daycare and kindergarten.

Luckily i can rely on my team, but working hours really screw up as i need to continue work at night after kids sudah sleep.

Can but if whole Malaysia company closed. You cannot do anything.

Programmers literally increased productivity when WFH.

I only work whenever there's a problem or someone messed up

80% of the time I just do what I want

Not during my 8mths work with the company I was employed. We all had to come in office still and were asked to wear masks... And a lot of us didn't even wear masks... By 6mths in we heard 2 of our staffs got COVID and no one told us until before CNY...

But that aside, I had been working part-time/freelance at home. In some ways you can say its "WFH" (maybe). Still can get work done just that it's flexi hours only. As long as we submit by deadline it's ok with our bosses and managers lol.

Depends your field I would say, example I'm working in voice recorder field yeah you can remote access via internet as long with internet,

but if client site whatever reason data failure still need drop by recover everything then wait the software department before they do it at office now they're WFH remote in get the job done, whatever they need simply remote office server pull data they need and transfer over to client, plus our internet now unlike old times slow until need few hour to transfer 1gb data

For safe boss ask client issue me a letter attached with my current company letter for me to come and there are no issue for traveling from 1st MCO until now , my experience every road block they don't ask me Much show letter he take a look,and look at my back sit full of tools and let me go also most of the time boss only ask me go die outside the rest stay at home or WFH

WFH will kill me, bosses don’t know working hours anymore

I cannot WFH because I become more lazy and disconcerted. Some more the room where the computer is located at don't have air cond. Bloody hot during the day.

What happened when warranty period ended?

No need auto clicker also can

same here, i joined new company during CMCO

havent talked nor met much with teammates at all

As long as work is done productively, who cares how you achieve it?

Ive been doing a lot of work at night and weekends since during working hour people keep on whatsapp me to ask technical advice

All from home of course, i have been wfh past 3 weeks, before that alternating

Engineering line

Same question for students. Can they ‘study’ from home SFH?

Why can't? Sleep first till 11 or 12. Then u work extra lor. Easy only.

just do whatever you want as long as things are delivered on time. Well, at least that is how i run things

Hands down YESSS!!!!!

Loving it too much honestly!

I wish this kind of arrangement will last till next year!!!

More personal time and no issue getting up 10-5mins daily prior to logging in!

And oh! One of the perk is need not spend time and making effort in doing make up and choosing outfits daily. Can just work in Pjs!!!!

Sometimes when i feel like get up earlier to walk to my neighbourhood coffee house to pick up some cuppa and come home to work.

I get most of my work done very quick and efficient. Dont have to deal with office politics and seeing some attention seeker colleagues' face. Love it!

Plenty of time to study at night!!!! Too good!

My body says it can. I get motivated when working from home. But my mom expects me to be a good child as well, so that hard part.

Damn auto complete

i think my team delivered more compared to year 2019 since covid time

I have a 1 year old child

I dunno how i am going to handle wfh

I hv back to back zoom meeting presentatione wiith big bosses

If living alone, no issue, can say much more productive compare in office. If have kid, might need to multitask to work and monitor kids.

For programmer or i.t. based industry, very productive when wfh

Very enjoyable working from home
Aside of super hot becoz no air-conditioning
Very productive compare to working at office becoz need to get tooooooo early to go to work and cause sleepy and when at office alot kacau ppl come find you.

Anyhow no kids at home.
Those with kids are the one can't concentrate

Ask your baby sit in zoom calls with u

Works damn well with female boss especially mothers

They busy comment on your baby end up not paying too much attention whatever bullshit u talking. Just agree.

Mission accomplished

I work alt WFH. Its been good for me as i dont enjoy travelling to office. The 2 hrs i save from driving, i end up enjoying my time working longer because i am not stress out on the road.

The only draw back when kids at home, it can be challenging. Plus, sometimes meeting office colleague is good to build bond.

WFH since MCO 1.0.

Stressed but manageable.

Boss using you until dead

Job can fully WFH. Been doing this since last year, but went back office when situation improved, then back WFH again when situation worsen...

personally I'm just super sick and tired of this. I like working in office coz I preferred seeing and working face to face with ppl instead of talking to a monitor.

So to all that keep causing the cases up, fuck u all

My job can't fully WFH. Alt WFH and WIO. So during WFH, I literally have nothing to do. Just wake up in the morning, report for clock in then sleep back. Lols.

Good thing I can nap 5 min if too tired
And refresh. This is something diff than u take a smoke, sit on the couch in office , take a walk, provided ur boss allow u to take such break.

Bad thing, can't differentiate whether u r working or not working because work station just right beside u 24/7, colleagues will have hard time draw a line between office hour and non office hour.

Cuba tanya kerja gomen sanggup ke tak cuti tanpa gaji ?

All in buttcoin and retire.

I've been working from home for the past 14 years. I work for people who don't care when or how I work, only that I submit things on time.

So how many times you been applying SPA9 gomen jobs?

LEL

Home got many distractions

Sure less productive

since school and college days, already "WFH". I am able to study better at home.

Now, i am more efficient when WFH

Legend use optical wired mouse and left the mouse dangling to keep the session always awake

Actually, there's some studies that say wfh actually is more efficient. This is base on work done per time.

Because in asian countries especially, people are judged by the amount of time they spent at work rather than how much work is done. If you finish your work fast, then do nothing for the rest of the day, your boss see already will think you're lazy, but wont have any comments on your colleague who spends the whole day slowly doing the same amount of work you did.

But when wfh, if you finish fast, after that can bukak Netflix baring katil.

No. If i finish fast, no matter wfh or office, boss assign more work

Siapa suruh hantar...

Dont say office ah, i kerja in lab buat test including covid test also people can drag to do less work. If boss allow balik awal, dua jam siap kerja. But if need work full day, test only report half an hour before knock off.

Rumah banyak panas.
Wanna on Aircon during WFH, banyak mahai.

Your’ friend ‘work as office boy of course diiff to wfh. Ppl have tons of reports to do has got no issue!

This one not direct boss

Really big big boss

Ok je wfh.

Less travelling time although not far

no like. I want to go out and express my freedom by speeding in my car.

Can ah. At the same time also can do own things. Only issue is the hot weather only. Cause I kiam siap don’t wanna switch on AC. Hehe!

Why not?

But many will face problem during WFH because they lack of disciplines and focus.

to me its kinda hard.

It has its pros, such as saving time and transportation cost.

But its quite hard to focus working at home tbh, with gaming console and PC around

Your problem is you choose a job that is too far from your home.
That is your problem.

Don't blame the stress on driving.

I discovered watching YouTube keeps teams in online status

Can
Set deadline set deliverables kawtim.
Shop drawings, fab drawings, documentation can be done
Annoying part is the production floor one. Those cannot wfh. But not every production sample will finish everyday anyway. Can alternate in this case.

I been working from home since 3 month ago. To be honest I am like zombie. Never meet people ..meeting...do work...cordinate remotely. It's mentally tiring


So end up slack off. My day begins like these
7am wake up take a good 30 mins shit while reading latest news .
7.30am go out jog got 5 to 6km
8.15am make a protein shake and warm down
8.45am take shower
9.30am open laptop work
12.30pm take lunch for 15 mins then go lie down for 45 mins ( most often cannot lie down...keep thinking of problems at work and then list down the important shit for 2nd half
1.30pm attack those list or create excuses til 4pm
4.00pm ...energy low go have a nap
6.00pm take a walk til about 7
.

This is my life..at night play games watch tv ..repeat the shit..
Food alrwady meal prep so just take out and pump it with gamma radiation...so yeah that is my life

Biggest problem is collegue not so easy to work with....tai chi culture...so many issue get assign to me....til I fed up and no mood

already WFH since MCO1. everything ok, but 4-5 times mentally tired compare to going to office. So, office work environment better actually..

i love it. can brew my morning tea, undisturbed by mindless office chatter, air-cond at comfortable temperature all of which contribute positively to my work. been wfh since oct 2020 and when gyms were open, i would leave at 5.20 to the gym. come back at 8, cook, eat and shower and will still have energy to continue working till about 11. then chill with some netflix. no need to wake up at 5.45am to beat traffic. better rested during the night and able to work longer (and i dont mind it). still able to network for lunch (for my other business). i love it and hope it becomes the new norm.

Been WFH since MCO1.0. It is just depending if you want to be discipline or not, you lazy fool

Yes since IT related

And also salary masuk for now

Thanks Malaysia

advertising - full wfh since mco1 no issue

if u have kids, it is disaster to work from home.

even more stressful

you must be single or stay alone...

daily, i had been bug by kids numerous times.

Also like when you have parents who have no sense of privacy and think you're very free one. It's okay if it is about chores and they're busy as well, but this guy sleeps off half the day and on his phone for the rest. Much worse when your colleagues keep making mistakes/behind on their work and you have to cover for them, when you have to cover your own at the same time, because your seniors think you know everything.

Before MCO I just have to deal with my colleagues, but now I have to deal with both parents and colleagues. It's frustrating. "Spend more time with your family" my buntut lah

Based on my 1 year+ exp wfh since mar'20
It's workable and more productive
no time wasted in travel or trafic
Can play with kids, games and watch tv while doing work
can wakeup late and straight join meeting
Bosses keep finding u and expect response asap even at night
Expected to join all meeting if calendar free
Can finish work fast and play fast...no need to LLB

Plenty of my kolik set teams on away indefinitely
So dont know whether they on9 or off since when haha

Adapt or die.

It’s good if their direct manager doesn’t really care lor. I’m a freelancer so it doesn’t matter much to me

I think can work. Working at hometown with parent, i can focus on my work without worrying dinner
