Containment accelerates and multiplies the practice of remote work, which had already experienced phases of acceleration with the strikes of the end of 2019.
For the past two weeks, millions of people have been providing services, producing content, organizing meetings, classes, etc. from their homes.
The particularity of this remote work is that it is not chosen; it has been set up in a hurry, without any real preparation, and it places many employees in a radically new situation.
The novelty also lies in the fact of working remotely on a full-time basis, whereas many teleworkers used to do so occasionally. It is also due to the conditions of this remote work: at home, with one's family nearby, in spaces that are not designed for this and with equipment that is not necessarily adapted.
Rather than true telecommuting or remote work, what these home-based workers experience is more akin to what might be called "confined work."
