According to you, what does freedom of work mean? Do you think taking how much work for the day or month or year should be under your control?

Some people like structured work, for example, they would like to be known what is it that they have to work for the day or week in advance so that they can assign time for other work that can be personal or professional. Such people are usually called freelancers who work basis on the hour or targets. Some people like unstructured work and are willing to be available at the official 8 to 9 hours at the workplace or remote workplace. They are willing to do any work that comes to them while they are available to work and they want their time to be compensated with the money or salary package.

For some freedom of work also means the benefits – monetary and non-monetary that come with the job. Some travel to different places through their job because they are in the travel or sales or media industry which makes them network with others and explore different places that they like as work freedom. For some, not having a boss at the workplace and being able to work on their own, by developing their own idea of a product or service within a stipulated duration is what freedom of work means.
In the times when Great Resignation is trending in the post-pandemic times, we really wonder what is an ideal definition of freedom of work. If you are an employee who has been working in your company for many years and your company as well considers you as an asset, then don’t follow the trend of Great Resignation. Talk to your boss, talk to your HR manager and even talk to your team leader and co-workers before you put up your resignation officially. You never know just by thinking that you have no freedom of work when actually your company is giving you all the facilities and benefits an employee deserves, you are shutting the doors to your already existing job opportunity.
Not all companies are bad or follow toxic work culture, so comparing your work culture with that of the other well-established companies through LinkedIn or other social media platforms will do no help to you. If you want to really understand how your company is helping you to evolve or grow in your life, then note down all the achievements that you had in your career because of your past and existing jobs. Don’t go by the sheer words of motivational speakers and quit your job just to enjoy the freedom of work. First, define your problems, get the possible solutions and then only make a firm decision.
