During the COVID-19 lockdown that was implemented around the world, the majority of the world's working population was forced to work from the confinement of their homes as stepping out of the house was not advised. This resulted in a surge of people starting 'Work From Home' and it soon became the whole rage on social media too. There were a number of memes revolving just around the newly formed culture of people working from home and it became a subject to a cultural and professional shift of getting work down at home and holding meetings over Zoom or other video calling platforms.
Recently, LinkedIn, a popular professional social media platform, posted a tweet on their official Twitter account asking people the WFH meaning. LinkedIn wrote in their tweet - 'What does WFH stand for? Wrong (but professional) answers only.' This resulted in a number of Twitter users sharing their meaning of WFH. Check it out below -

While the work from home model has become a meme on social media for many users, there have been specific studies from different countries around the world that have concluded that without the remote working model, the world economy would have suffered deeply. A Stanford-based economist, Nicholas Bloom had discussed the social impacts of the latest work from home model and the impact of the transition from a staple office model. Bloom's study suggests that the shift to remote working can be deemed to be historic as, without it, the lockdown in many countries wouldn't have lasted as the majority of people going months without work would make the economy suffer. Thus, no matter how funny and meme-worthy Work From Home is being termed now, it has been a saving grace for many.
