A Delhi woman's Instagram video highlighting the challenges of working from home has resonated with social media users, reigniting the debate over how remote work is perceived within families. In the video, she said the biggest challenge is not the job itself but convincing those at home that working remotely is still work.
The video drew widespread reactions from users who said they face similar expectations while working from home.
'My brother earns less but gets more respect'
Sharing her experience, Heena Dogra said her family treats her brother's office job differently from her remote role.
She said her brother, despite earning less, receives more respect at home because he dresses for work and leaves the house each day, while she is perceived as simply staying at home.
