Just started a remote job and honestly, I love it! But my biggest struggle isn’t the work itself… it’s convincing my family that my job is real. Since I don’t go into an office, they keep asking, “Are you sure this is legit?” or “Why would a real company let you work from home?” I’ve shown them my contract, the laptop they gave me, even my payslip but still, they act like it’s not a “real” job. It’s frustrating and embarrassing. How do you explain remote work to people who just don’t get it?

Don’t need to explain. You are definitely doing something with your life and getting paid for it, that’s the best part! Don’t let other people dictate how you should live your life. All the best!

I feel this so TOUGHHH. I told my aunt I got a new job and she said, “Okay but when are you going back to work?” 😭 I’ve started sending family group chat updates like “Look, I got paid!” or “Just finished a big project!” Slowlyyyy they’re catching on. Remote ≠ unemployed, y’all.
