Working from home has its benefits, but what about boundaries for the new situation? Being accessible doesn't mean automatically available, unless contract says otherwise. Your thoughts?

Before I answer, what do you mean by "boundaries?" Like having a place in your home that is a work-space?

Anyway, It's a thoughtful question...

Hey, thanks for the pizza 😊.

Yeah, because of the limited amount of characters I couldn't further elaborate. I always forget to elaborate more in the comments section 🙈.

Anyway, yes while having a work space at home, with all the amenities you would have at the office is preferable, I do know that not everyone has that luxury.

So, my question was geared more towards being available for work and setting boundaries for coworkers and managers. This is excluding the people who have contracts to be available or on call "24/7". So, when it's outside of working hours including weekends and holidays, should your coworkers or managers call you during your "private" time when it's not life or death? I asked this, because I've seen that those lines sometimes get blurred and people get "comfortable" in the amount of accessibility and think their coworkers would be available at anytime. I do know that working from home created the benefit of flexible working hours, but I do know from experience that some stuck to the office hours and still received calls from work after. Just wanted to know how other thought about this "coin having two sides".
