My office has allowed me to work from home one day a week. I absolutely LOVE it. I go to bed stress free the night before just knowing that I don’t have to schlep into the office the following morning. I am much more productive, comfortable and at ease. This has boosted my motivation 100%

I pick both. I would hate to work from home everyday, it gets boring plus I need people around me to suppress my hermit tendencies.
Going to the office daily is stressful, I hate traffic jams.
So if I could get a 3days office, 2days home work week, that would be heavenly.

I love the comfort of my own home and I am not good at working with others.

I love working from home.
Reasons;
I am more productive.
I can avoid office politics, gossip, and other social chitchats.
I can take care of my family.
I can manage my time better.
I should work from home on the computer as my handwriting sucks, I mean REALLY SUCKSSSSSSSSS.

I prefer to stay at home and work because I really need the flexibility to drop off kids and pick up so I could start working earlier when working from home. I can also give more hours because I am not using a lot of time commuting I can drop off come back home and start working. My kids are in after school programs so I can do a full day and not having to rush leaving a job to get to my kids is wonderful and a lot less stressful.

I have kids and want to find legitimate work I can do from home. I can devote more of my time to a job at home as my kids are older and stay in school all day and after school programs. I can work several days a week, start early, work late into the evening and still take and pick up kids while putting food on the table. I think it's better for a single mom to work from home because she needs to work and also need to be in the home it's the best of both worlds. It benefits all the children have their caretaker and provider in one place . They don't have to be latch key kids. Giving the job what it needs and giving my kids what they need is the ultimate goal. No commuting can start work as soon as I drop them off can even start work before they leave home take a break drop them off and start. Work all day no lunch break needed giving more to the company could do more than 8 hours before having to pick up children. Be more willing to work weekends no need for daycare and money savings all around gas, daycare, lunch, clothes, and time. Why can't more employers see that and how about no sick days more on time on the job take off only when earned time off. When companies are good to their employees the employee will be good to them and happier.

I would rather work from home because of many reasons such as NO traffic, hard to be late, to be honest, Wear what you want, Eat whenever, No one is watching you like a hawk and also I am able to go out and socialize without co-workers so no socializing needed during work.

I would rather work from home. I am a Retired RN and bored. This job would provide stimulation. I have four cats and the expenses are high.
I spent forty years on my feet working and put many overtime hours in. I am looking forward to working in shorts and a Tee, also eating when I please without being rushed.

Thank you very much,

I like to work from home as it provides me with a comforting space to read and write. I do need to have a set workspace, though, or I can get distracted very easily.

I would prefer working from home. Working from home has so many advantages. For example; you keep close relationship with your family, see your children grow, working at your own paste and time. It is the most suitable way of working for me.
