I work remote from my team, but come into the office in this location every single day, for many reasons:
1. I like separating work from home
2. I like being around the people
3. There are snacks!
4. The desk setup is better here than at home. I live in a very small apartment, so a dedicated space isn't feasible.
5. There are printers and paper shredders and copiers and all sorts of other supplies here. I don't want to buy all that stuff for home.
6. The view from this building is heck of a lot cooler than the view from my rear apartment
I could probably think of more. This all adds up to a pretty nice experience.
- stephenr 10y agoI understand that it isn't always a choice, but in my experience (~8 years 100% remote, with a few exceptions for client site visits/local team collaboration) people who work remote often do so from some where that affords more space and a nicer view, at home. Also of course is the Timezone benefit. Before I was taking clients directly, I worked with a remote team, with staff from basically every continent except Antarctica. It wasn't unusual for me to be working such odd (by local standards) hours in Melbourne/Thailand that I had 90% crossover with Western Europe or North America.
