Number one is: You need to be cut out for it. You need to be self sufficient and be OK with working alone. Not many people can handle that and will want to go back to the office.
I love remote work and get really stressed in an office (especially open and cubes) but I feel people like me are a minority.
- minasss 7y agoThank you for your points! > You need to be cut out for it. You need to be self sufficient Instead of saying "People are not cut to it" why cannot we say "People have not enough experience with it"? Even working in a classic office space requires some experience, trial and error. > and be OK with working alone. well, there are co-working spaces, working hubs etc
- Ididntdothis 7y agoThere certainly is a level of experience needed but some people are just more social than others. I know several people who started working remotely and hated it after a while. I believe there are a lot of people who would do themselves a disfavor if they started working remotely because it goes against their own needs. For others it's perfect. It's good to know where you fall on the spectrum.
- LyndsySimon 7y ago> Instead of saying "People are not cut to it" why cannot we say "People have not enough experience with it"? I've been working exclusively remotely for around five years now. Certainly there are skills that can be acquired and improved that will help you succeed, but I believe that there is also a significant element of "natural aptitude". Some people need the personal interaction of an office environment more than others to feel fulfilled. If they need that and don't get it, no amount of training or experience is going to change that.
