Özet
Remote work has become a prevalent new work arrangement, and its implications on employees are still a continuous debate. Having reviewed the recent relevant literature, this study aims to provide insight into the pros and cons of remote work as currently experienced by employees. Accordingly, six variables were identified as the most discussed topics within the literature: work-life balance, performance, quiet quitting, social isolation, FoMO, and well-being. A qualitative method was designed and interview questions were prepared to explore the six variables. 13 interviews were conducted with remote working professionals. The responses derived suggested several factors reflecting each variable. The findings reveal that employees experience all six variables to differing extents while working remotely. A striking result is that for well-being, performance, and work-life balance, both negative and positive factors were revealed. While negative experiences outweighed positive ones for work-life balance and job performance, well¬being appeared to be affected more positively than negatively during remote working. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
