How remote workers are often paranoid about being perceived as not doing enough work, and how they over compensate by working extra hard – or at least by working extra long hours. This is certainly true in my case. The days I work from home I always work in the evenings – partly because there are always things I’d planned to get done that day but I didn’t get finished by six o’ clock so I spend another couple of hours or so in the evening trying to finish things off.
Not only do many remote workers worry that they need to be seen as providing extra value to the company to justify working from home, they are often, nevertheless, seen by management as less committed members of staff than the high visibility folks who make sure they’re notice around the office every day (irrespective of the actual value the company is actually getting from them).
