Hi Dimers,
I am an IT engineer working remotely since last 2 years. More savings, more family time, more time to work on myself, these are all the perks I am enjoying while doing work from home. But my whole society/colony/mohalla think that I am jobless smile
I have heard people talking about me and my brother(he's also doing work from home), "doctor sahab kere ladika padh padh ghar waapis aae gye, bade kaabil bannt rahaen"  .
Every month, when I go for haircut in nearby shop in my locality, he asks , "bhaiya koi form worm daal do, kahin na kahin huiye jaahi " laughing
Please suggest how to deal with this situation. What can be the simplest words to explain what I do to them or should I totally ignore this.
Waiting to hear experts opinions smile

You really didn't get my point. I ignored them for 2 years, but sometimes something happens that force you to think that you can't ignore it anymore.

From the title, I thought neighbours are disturbing you so that you can't concentrate on the work! stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes

On lighter notes buy some luxury items regularly and show off !!

+1, I also thought the same & came for advice on the same since I am working from home too but I work in different room where I visit only during working hours for work.

I face the sane thing there either too much loud / disturbance or neighbors mumbling outside why does this guy come here daily between 9 to 6 and always keep doors & windows locked from inside 🤣🤣

Same happened with me when i was in college, i used to visit my native every Saturday - sunday, one day my neighbour asked me that you were studying in rajkot ( city of my college), have you left your studies. I replied her that i am still studying and i am topper of my college last year.

Nothing can be done except if they came to know automatically.

I am surprised. Everybody knows what is WFH nowadays. Even people in villages know about it now.

People intentionally try to put you down. Ignore all of these. The lesser you react to them, the lesser they will bother to trouble you

Why do you care about what neighbors thinking? You don't have to prove anything to them. Ignore them and enjoy your time.

OP, I also faced the same issue last month when I stayed at my village for a month I had visited with my laptop (since I am working from home), for first week it was ok since everyone thought I am there for a week leave as time passed everyone started assuming I am jobless & hence came back to village to pass my time 🤣🤣 everyone was like job chutt gayi kay apki, itna time yahan? Kam nahi karte kay? Naukari nahi hai aapke paas? 🤣🤣
