Imagine this: You’re sitting on the train, concentrating on a project \u2013 and suddenly a photo of you appears on social media: \u201cThis is not what working from home looks like!\u201d \ud83d\ude84\ud83d\udcbb
Headlines like this appeared recently when there was discussion in Germany about employees who regularly use their train journeys as working time. Critics see this as blurring the line between productive work and leisure time. But for many, mobile working has long been part of everyday life.<\/p>\n
