What self-discipline is needed when home working requires no clocking in?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Still fulfill your duties. Lack of constant supervision or clocking in does not remove responsibility. First clarify company arrangements and required cooperation.
Dao Jing described earnestly trying to log into company systems at the beginning, while colleagues said onsite staff would support as much as possible and ask remote staff when needed. The employer required no extra clocking or constant reporting. That was this company's arrangement.
Methods depend on industry and tools. Some can submit materials and cooperate online; others need remote access to company software and data. Home does not automatically mean less work, nor can every job use one method.
Dao Jing clearly said home time was not permission to travel for fun. Know duties and cooperate where required, without waiting for management before taking responsibility.
