‘Comfortable But Damaging’: CRED Founder Tweets On WFH, Starts Online Debate; What’s Your Take?

New Delhi: CRED founder Kunal Shah on Sunday shared his take on Work From Home (WFH) in a tweet, saying it is comfortable but damaging in the long run.

The tweet has triggered an online debate with opinion divided.

Impact of WFH on youth is the same as impact of children who study at home.

No real bonds. No real social or network skills. Illusion of understanding and learning. No osmosis.

Comfortable but damaging in the long run.

Kunal when there was no school or college people still progressed.

People don't progress at the office by doing a mundane job they progress by finding new exciting alternatives.

Many people who did WFH are now happy & found something else to work on for the rest of their life.

Strongly disagree!

Remote work is democratizing opportunity. And the youngsters of today, mostly the ones living in poor countries, will benefit the most.

For the first time ever, they'll have access to opportunities that their parents didn't!https://t.co/qEUVjXECvV

“Comfortable but damaging in the long run ? “

Show me the evidence to substantive your claims . It’s quite easy to pass off such blanket statements to appear smart on Twitter

I started my career WFH & it's been 10y now. I wouldn't have it any other way. How can anyone get any work done in the office & deal with all the junk food/commuting time/time away from family/no flexibility to fit in house chores? Playing devil's advocate.
