It would be a hell of a lot better if coffee shops and co-working spaces were open, and schools weren’t closed.

- tqi 7y agoI think the person you're replying to meant that under normal circumstances (where you can go to these places), WFH would not be as bad.
- karatestomp 7y agoThat was my intention, yeah. I don’t want people to die for my convenience, I just mean these circumstances are significantly worse for most people than WFH would ordinarily be.
- eropple 7y agoI'm glad that's what you meant, and I apologize for reading it otherwise. There's an ugly strain of "it's just a flu" around here and "better" is ambiguous. :)
- karatestomp 7y agoNo offense taken! Misunderstanding or failing to communicate clearly in places like this happens all the time normally, let alone when everyone’s a bit on edge. Good luck and stay healthy.
- tqi 7y agoIt would be better, but it would be that much better for me at least. I miss sitting next to my team and interacting spontaneously. Zoom and Slack are fine, but it just isn't the same. YMMV, but my sense from talking to people is most people prefer being colocated in an office.
- devdas 7y agoAnd for introverts, the reverse. Your sampling migt be biased (anecdotally, in my team of 8 people, 2 want to be in the office, and 6 would rather keep working from home).
