Surrounded by multiple screens, an employee in his 20s responds to emails or accomplishes the day’s tasks under the flickering green light of his laptop camera.
Mika* a 25-year-old working in digital media, has experienced the spike in tasks reported by advertising creatives and content creators as marketing activities move completely online. She confessed: “At the start of the quarantine, I felt like I was working 24 hours a day.
"I felt extremely anxious any time I got any kind of notification because like my heart would beat faster and I felt really tense. I was developing a really unhealthy relationship with both my work and my phone and there was a lot of resentment bubbling inside of me." Not having a collective physical workplace has taken a toll on employees. “The source for this stress comes from the fact that in the office, there was an unspoken understanding that work would get done. Now, employees feel like this trust was taken away so abruptly,” Inocencio said. “To [patients], it felt like: if we were working in the office we were expected to work 100% but now that we’re working from home, we’re expected to do 200%.
