Summary
Remote workers often face cultural misunderstandings that lead to constant justification of their work commitments. Friends and family may assume that being at home means being available for non-work activities, creating stress and frustration for remote employees who are trying to maintain boundaries. This issue remains largely unsolved, as there are few resources to educate those outside the remote work environment about the realities of remote work.
