The issue of teleworking has long been controversial, while one school of thought holds that working from home is beneficial for employees most; others argue that senior executives have more desirable effects from this trend. Although there are explanations for both perspectives, I lean towards the latter view.＋

On the one hand, it is understandable why some people advocate for the idea that employees would gain more advantages from remote working. Firstly, people would have more flexible working timetables. Instead of following a fixed working hours, employees could opt for working schedules which they want. As a result, individuals would have more freedom, and this could lead to a growth of productivity. Moreover, teleworking would help to save travel and accommodation expenses, since it would only require a laptop and the internet.＋ However, this trend may work in theory, in practice, this view is not without its undesirable effect. Because people would not have to go outside their houses when they work from home, they would become couch potatoes and have a sedentary lifestyle. As a result, overwhelming time allocated into their job could make people not want to get their hands dirty, and sometimes they could have some problems about their eyesight due to the blue lights emitted from the laptops’ screen.

On the other hand, I support those who believe that employers gain benefits from teleworking. From a financial perspective, the investment on some factors like renting office, electricity, and facilities could be reduced, since employees work from home. As a result, senior executives could use these funds for more essential purposes, including paying taxes and investing on R&D features for their products, making them more distinct and worth their price. Moreover, remote working would also help managers not have to have face-to-face meetings with their employees, and they could still manage them through specialised working systems. This could lead to a reduced gap between managers and employees, making them feel more comfortable, and increasing efficiency and productivity of companies.

＋To summarize, while employees have certain benefits from remote working, including an increase in productivity and a flexible timetable, these pale in comparison with the advantages for employers.
