英语【英文练习帖】Do you think your company will allow you to work from home? Why?

I am unemployed. Currently, I study at home. I really want to find a company that allows me to work remotely. Because working hours are more free and study time is more.

It depends a lot on the nature of the company and how much the owner is willing to pay for remote work. I work for a digital agency and it seems like the kind of company that would be perfect for remote work. But we also have our own problems. For example, we need to be in constant communication with the designers to get the best result, but under the remote working mode, there are so many particular design details that cannot be readily discussed. Of course, there are tools like Zoom to help us collaborate remotely, but you can't do that 24 hours a day, huh? Compromise is inevitable. So, I guess it's up to the boss eventually...
(And I feel like I'm talking a whole bunch of non-sense lol)

in my opinion, it is the trend that more and more company will allow the staffs work remotely. But in this time, my boss may still in the traditional thinking that staffs need work in the office.Authough he allow us work at home,it must become on call 24 hours.

It depends on what kind of company you work for. what's more, could you boss accept his employees work from home or not？I think, WFH is more acceptable in American companies. Here are some memories of my first job after graduation. It snowed heavily one day morning, and orological authorities issued the heavy snow alert. My boss emailed to all the employees, said please WFH if you haven’t head to the office, and take care of yourself and families. Such good thing does't happen again after I left my first company.

I once worked for a chemical company for years in the marketing department. I felt it really hard for that company to consider allowing its employees to work from home. For such a traditional industry, it's almost impossible for the clients to accept online communications instead of in-person interaction. It might be part of Chinese culture that sometimes a decent dinner or a well-organized event can work much better than hours of phone call with the clients.

In my opinion, Firstly, the company has a mechanism that allows employees to work remotely;
Secondly, we must meet the specific requirements of the company for employees:

1. Are you self-disciplined?
   I will provide some evidence to prove that I'm such a person, for example, I have been running for more than five years;
   2.Expression and communication:
   I think this is the most challenging part, I must write and speak to improve my ability in this area;
2. Are you a full-stack engineer？
   It doesn't mean that we have to master everything;
   In fact, we only need to be good at one or two directions and know the technology stack in other directions;
   If the above aspects are achieved, I think this company will probably allow me to work from home

"Do you think your company will allow you to work from home?"
I would say .. I don't know. I'm not sure my company if supports remote working or not because I never apply for it. I think the key the most company in china not keen to remote working because we don't establish the trust between company and employee. Empolyers don't trust remote worker can keep same effective with regular employee and the employee also don't trust company guarantee there job’s stability. Because for now most of company in China don't have standard remote working ... rules? For example society/medical insurance, different salary level in different city, communication, manager etc.. anyway only if we enjoy remote working, that's enough. May the remote working become better and better :D

About six years ago, when I decided to leave the non-remote company, and started to work remotely. Boss of the company told me he could rise my salary and allow me to work from home. I refused.

Because I know the compan has no DNA for remote working. They like having meetings every day, You must join the meeting even if it has nothing to do with you. They don't allow the employees to visit taobao in the office, They even blocked some open source mirror sites hosted by taobao.org.

No trust and freedom.

Unbelievable, @greatghoul. You’ve been working at home for 6 years (am I right?). It’s really long.

I’d been there only at COVID-19 in the beginning this year, only a few months. Of course, my boss wasn’t happy until he could see us in the office. He is a man who wants everything is under control. Remote working? Don’t even think about it. If everyone is watching tv at home everyday, who is going to response clients, who is taking care of the assignments. Problem is everywhere. The key point is that the salary cannot be cut off. What a wonderful situation! Boss is boss, all about money!

Although my present company will not allow me to work from home, but I will use my current job to make sure myself have ability to choose to work remotely .🤟🤟🤟

Being a salesgirl, my boss may allow me to work at home, because our base is in Beingjing, we do almost works through Dingding app., except visiting my customers. I think that working from home is good for me and my boss, it can save costs for the company, and I have more time to take care my son.

My company doesn't allow remote from home at least recently. Because the company's less staff, talk about cast big time, The staff had been not trusted with the company, staff had been done other things (self work out) at the company.

Unfortunate，My company had been broken by its stock and I unemployment.
