 The employees are in huge stress in this period means the employees are forced to work for long hours They are working for 14 hours even in some companies. They have employees are working for 18 hours The employees doesn't have time to spend with their family their work life balance has been affected So as a union unite demands that the employees should given rights to log off When they finish their work means after they are working hours the company should not force an employee to come or To log in again Work from home was initially easy because we used to work only one day or couple of days in a week But right now we are working from home for continuously for four months. So this is a bit stressful in the first place because earlier Because we had this transit issue like we had to travel to office and then we have to come home We were lucky or we were let off to not take calls that were in the on-site times But now that is not the case now we are Expected to be available for all the calls even if the call is scheduled at the on-site hours So this is becoming For initially it did not have much effort effect for almost a month I did not feel anything but As we are doing it continuously for a prolonged period of time It is taking its toll. It is becoming stressful nowadays And I'm hearing this from all of my colleagues like I said before This will be really stressful if if this is going to be the strategy even after even after the pandemic gets over or Even after we find some cure or vaccines first of all, it will be stressful The official report of our project in fact has clearly mentioned has documented The saying that the productivity has increased twice in this period when we all started to work from home So that is a clear statement. It clearly shows us that how much of the time we are spending in work Which could increase the productivity to double of its time. So if it is going to happen in the same way then Physically, it will be stressful to us and psychologically, it will have a real bad effect because we are Supposed to be working from home from morning till evening or till night or till midnight With no one to talk to because all other family members would not be available And even if they are working in IT company, they would be working in a different Machine and we should we are supposed to be working in different machine. So this communication Will greatly be affected and what we what what is the gain of this? communication is nothing but the collective thinking or the collective Bar gaining if you want to call it that would seriously be affected if we continue to do this for a long time Physically, if you look at continuously, we are looking at the screen for more than 12 to 13 hours. So I'm giving my case as example for the first month. I had an issue with my eye. I was not able to Look into the screen for more than 20 minutes. So I had to take a lot of Medicine for that. I had to change the screen resolution. Then I was wearing this Black sunglasses so that my vision will not be affected. So that thing had happened in the first month in the second month As I was in call continuously for six or seven hours every day My I got it and I was using an earphone for that. I got an ear infection for that So and and I treated that then after in the third month I got a back pain and I treated for that now I'm having leg pain So physically, this is really not helping continuously We are having this and this is really not helping and this is my own. This is not only my case This is the case throughout My account or throughout my organization where I'm working Everyone is saying that they are having one or the other physical issues because they are not able to go That is one in the physical side and when you look at women who was working who are working in this IT sector now they are at home full-time full-time means full-time They are supposed to work for 12 hours 13 hours in Office for to complete their productivity and apart from that they have their child care They have this home management all things has come together. So it is like They are working all time all time. They're working any time you ping them or call them You want to have a discussion with them? They are not available because they are working in one or the other thing They are working. So it has taken a severe toll on women this This prolonged work from home has taken a severe toll on women is what I could observe on this so that is one side and Coming back to the psychological thing because we don't have people to talk to because We Whenever there's a technical issue or whenever we have some Discussions that we have to take forward for a presentation We used to all sit together or we contact some person whom we are very much confident with we'll talk to them And then we'll get it resolved now. We have technology for it's not that we don't have technology We have all this technology like skype in office technology your Email everything is available, but still that personal connect is not available. So that is becoming a real headache because people especially people who are at middle-layer like some four years to Nine eight years eight nine years experience. They are having a severe problems because freshers as you know, they They are easy to collaborate with they get to People each other very easily and they get it out. They went it out But this is not available for or this is not very practical for people in this four years to eight years category So they are having a big trouble in handling this psychological issue Especially they are becoming very stressful. I could even give examples of some of my colleagues who has from one school When we were in office We used to call them as cool school people But now they have completely lost it like whenever we call them They are shouting at us because I feel that they don't have a place where they can vent out all these things and this has happened because of all this Prolonged work from whatever they are doing in office is okay but they are do they have they are expected to do more in their work in their home now because They are expected to cook more they're expected to take hold of all this Household items for they're expected to take the child care more. So they're expected to take the Age the parents or in-laws. They're expected to do that all this house cleaning everything has been kept in the head of They kept in the shoulders of women So they are facing up with some of my friends whom I have regular contact with they don't even talk to me They are they want to talk to me But they are too tired to talk to me that they'll just listen and they'll say I'm very tired They're they'll close with only one statement saying that I'm very tired. So that's how the situation of Women are there at home now. So this is in the professional aspect as well as in the Home space one side the central government is taking steps To dilute the labor loss in the name of reforms and other side The industry body NASCARM the companies big companies or keep on asking the central government to dilute the labor loss They are saying that they are the stuff for them to do business in India because of strict labor loss Many employees are not even 95% of the employees the employment or employees have gone for work from home. So due to which there is a huge Isolation from one a worker to another worker. So collective bargaining is evolving into a next stage where we need to Need to bring this employees who are affected by page cut or the excessive of stress of the work from home And the job loss into a common forum to raise the voice of the employees
