A Nigerian Barrister Moe has said that Remote work is not the key and not the way to go because it puts so much pressure on women because there is no closing time.

She wrote:

Remote work is not the key. The key is flexible working hours. Remote work is hard! Especially for many women. Let’s not turn this “new normal” into a permanent situation because the careers of many women will suffer for it.

Her reason is because the women have to combine house chores along with work and this is very stressful for them and hope the pandemic would end soon and activities go back to normal.

She asked that remote work should have closing hours and employers should understand that and not stress their workers round the clock for them to be effective.

The truth is that until an effective vaccine against COVID-19 is developed and available worldwide , REMOTE OR VIRTUAL WORKING is the REALITY for many people irrespective of gender

If you also live in Lagos like me, you would appreciate the fact that you don't have to spend almost a quarter of your day in traffic. Remote working must not stop, lol! It is favorable for me even as a working mum.

One man's food is another mans poison.
Some people prefer Woking in the field than in the office.

Remote work have it's good and bad. Working round the clock is one of the downsides but the it helps reduce stress of going to the office, transportation, and time. Remote working is the new normal and it has come to stay whether we like it or not
