Seniors grappling with WFH Pix for illustration purposes
PETALING JAYA: A lifetime of spending eight hours a day, five days a week at the office is difficult to rub off for 57-year-old Mary Sanda.
She is struggling to adjust to working from home (WFH), which is mandatory now that the country is under lockdown to stem the spread of Covid-19.
“Sitting in front of the computer for long periods gives me a headache and that indirectly triggers anxiety,” the operations administration personnel told
theSun.
Worse than that, she now finds herself working beyond 6pm, a time she would have clocked out had she been working at the office.

Domestic violence survivors face more obstacles during pandemic

“We were asking people to shelter in place and telling them that home was the safest place to be, but for survivors of domestic violence, home is probably the most dangerous place to be,” said Deborah Hall, director of domestic violence services at YWCA Central Massachusetts, an organization dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women.
