Feeling Isolated working Remotely
Miscommunication with colleague
Some of the interview, they have flexible work time, and most of them like to work at night instead of daytime. Because of that, they are concern about their health.
Work from home lifestyle is leading to feeling of loneliness and isolation as the opportunities of social interaction and making connections with coworkers have reduced.
Most of the participants have a hard time communicating with their colleague, especially when it is a limited time and time zone different to discuss a project. The only solution is to schedule the virtual meeting together to reduce the miscommunication.
