Work Remotely and Mental health!
We never knew how life will change in 2020 for all, and world will start thinking of new ways to live, work and do other activities which we used to do till pre-coronavirus. Now, as twitter mentioned that there employees can work from home for ever and other Otganizations are also thinking somewhat on same lines. This is good, people feel more productive working remotely and also have time to for their families. BUT, my questions is will it somewhere isolate an individual from the social fabric, won't it affect Mental health in long run as person is confined to his room with laptop. Working from Home once or twice in a week is fine but forever, I am not sure. What is your thought?

I agree with Vic Clesceri that working from home really depends on the individual but also the family dynamics and other activities. It may be easier for a person living alone to work from home but more difficult for a person with a large family. It also depends on how involved a person is in things outside of work. If work is all the person does than that outlet of seeing co-workers and feeling the energy of being in an office has changed so that person regardless of introvert or extrovert would be heavily impacted. Whereas someone that is involved in hobbies, charities, sports, etc. outside of work may have an easier adaptation to always working from home.

So much of this will depend on the role. I have been working from home for 15 years, with a very large family at home. You would need to triple my salary for me to go back to an office. I travel 50-75%, and if I'm not on the road, I want to be home.
