A LinkedIn post by Nishtha Khanduja, a Delhi-based marketing and branding professional, has sparked considerable online discussion regarding the 'guilt attached to working from home' (WFH). Khanduja articulated a prevalent sentiment among remote employees: the constant pressure to demonstrate productivity when not physically present in an office. She observed that this feeling often leads to over-delivering, working longer hours, and avoiding non-work-related tasks, contrasting with the office environment where mere presence often serves as proof of engagement. The professional stated that despite choosing WFH for the promise of freedom and flexibility, her working hours extended, and she found herself doing more work without taking adequate breaks. She attributes this to a 'systemic way of thought' where visibility is equated with working, prompting a need for remote workers to compensate by constantly proving their output. The post resonated with many users on LinkedIn, who shared similar experiences of feeling compelled to go above and beyond, while some others highlighted that their WFH arrangements provided a better overall payoff. This phenomenon of 'WFH guilt' is not isolated, with discussions and articles from various reputable sources, including Entrepreneur and Glassdoor, dating back several years, confirming it as a recognized aspect of remote work culture. Online forums like Reddit also feature extensive discussions where individuals share experiences of feeling guilty for not being visibly busy all the time while working remotely. The debate underscores the evolving challenges of remote work and the psychological impact of shifting work paradigms globally, as companies continue to redefine their hybrid work models.
