Man Compares Working from home with parents to a 'Whole New Level' of Squid Game

The pandemic has changed how many people work, making remote work (WFH) a new norm. While WFH has its perks, such as avoiding commutes and enjoying home comforts, one man's humorous comparison to the show Squid Game has resonated with social media users.

On X he shared that WFH is a "dream" when you have your own cozy apartment in cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, or Mumbai, especially with a partner. However, living with parents while working from home takes things to a "whole new level of Squid Game." He wrote, “WFH is a dream when you’ve got your own cozy little apartment... But WFH while living with your parents? That’s a whole new level of Squid Game.”

For those unfamiliar, Squid Game is a thrilling series where contestants facing dire financial straits risk their lives in dangerous children's games for a cash prize. His funny take on the WFH experience quickly gained traction online, amassing over 200,000 views.

Responses in the comments varied widely. One user remarked, “The main benefit of WFH is not being forced to live in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi.” Another mentioned their struggle with being available for household chores, noting the silver lining of spending more time with family rather than commuting.

Some commenters pointed out the challenges of maintaining boundaries between personal and professional life while working from home. One user emphasized the need to respect parents, stating, “Please don’t demonize your parents... It’s because of their sacrifices that you have the luxury of WFH.”

As a side note, the second season of Squid Game is set to release on december 26, 2024.
