Until a few years ago, the idea of working from home was in the “must be nice” territory for most of us. But the pandemic made it a much more common practice.

Reddit userQuirky-Regret-9031was one of the people who got to try it.

However, after the man turned one room in their house into his office, his wife started regularly interrupting him, often getting in the way of his meetings.

Eventually, the disruptions became so frequent that they strained the couple’s relationship, leading the man to make a post on the subredditr/AITAin an attempt to get advice on handling the situation.

Company at home can actually be a huge benefit to remote workers

As far as remote work goes, the Redditor started from what seemed an advantageous position compared to his counterparts. Having his family around, even if on the other side of the door, could’ve, indeed, boosted his morale.

In a statement toBored Panda,Ringoverexplained that “Whether you work remotely, are in the office full-time, or in a hybrid situation, it seems that a majority of workers feel isolated.”

“However, while remote working comes with proven benefits, from increased productivity to stronger in-work autonomy, we can see that remote workers are most prone to frequently suffering from work loneliness.”

“In fact, remote workers report ‘often’ suffering from loneliness 98% more of the time when compared to office workers, and 179% more frequently than hybrid workers,” the team behind the research added.

This can, in part, be attributed to the fact that an overwhelming majority of remote employees (86%) who responded to the survey said they work alone.

Conversely, remote workers are 15% less likely to feel isolated from colleagues when they work from home with someone else in the same household.

It’s a shame, but Quirky-Regret-9031 and his wife just couldn’t get on the same page.
