I can't imagine such a work situation appealing to anybody other than extreme penny-pinchers, or maybe fresh grads, straight out of colleges. This sounds exactly like trying to get work done in a university library or study hall. If you've never known anything better, or you're the kind of person that needs that social stimuli, I can imagine you might think it was normal enough; I couldn't do it then; I'd work alone in my room or buried in the stacks. And now? Forget about it.
- markbnj 9y agoI work for a fully-remote company and a number of our engineers choose to work from coworking spaces like WeWork. It's entirely their decision and I guess they miss the atmosphere and social interaction of an office.

- mathgeek 9y agoNot everyone has a home with a dedicated space to put a home office, either. When you have to work out of your bedroom, a distinct office away from home quickly becomes useful. Not every problem with remote work and distractions is a result of personality flaws.
