With the onset of the pandemic wave in 2019, most corporate realized that location is irrelevant for jobs in the era of the high-tech world. Work from home became the norm, and employees luckily could exchange hard work for flexibility and convenience and learn to manage a virtual boss.
You may get to juggle between chores and work. You may not feel the right kind of office environment at home, but the joy is incomparable. You are there for your family; there is the better option of time management as you don't have to commute; you can chill and watch your favorite shows when the work pressure is less, or you can multitask. In this situation, you must get innovative in making the opportunity of work from home a way to be effective and valuable for your company.
