Over the years, we’ve tried to give our readers valuable, insightful, and actionable information. We’ve also tried to dispel some remote work myths. Contrary to what some people may think, most remote employees don’t work from home in their underwear.

We’ve also been perusing remote work stock photos for years. And, while there’s a wider variety of images available now, unfortunately, many of these stock photos do nothing to dispel the myths.

In fact, sometimes these photos make working from home look easy. Like you aren’t even working! Well, here at FlexJobs, we know that nothing could be further from the truth, especially since our team has always worked remotely.

What we’ve seen, we cannot erase from our minds, so we’re sharing the worst work-from-home stock photos with you.

The peer review. 

“I really don’t care for coffee.”

“Now that I’m on my sled, we can talk. What’s up, boss?”

Ah, the beach and the business suit–timeless. 

Beach necessities include sunscreen and laptops from the 70s. 

Self-care, anyone?

Quitting time. 

“The WiFi is great here! There aren’t any power outlets, though, but there are bears.” 

“Wait, how am I going to get back?” 

“The locals love us!” 

Ergonomics, anyone? 

Have a seat wherever.
