Yeah, in my company we are seeing a lot of positive impacts, especially for those who live far from the offices, and are saving 10~15 hours a week from commuting. People can focus more on work, than spend time and energy commuting, and dreading the long commute home
- anotheryou 6y agoI totally can see negatives: - no water cooler talk and lunchs > bad for team spirit/work friendships - heated discussions going stale and ending up in resentment > easier to resolve in person when you get a good feeling for how the other feels (and interact about non-problematic things, e.g. the mentioned lunch together) - grabbing a busy person when you feel the time is right - harder to motivate yourself when you are on low-energy or stuck (And yet I think the positives even that all out)
- FalconSensei 6y agoIn the end, everything depends on the team and the person right? I would like going back to the office. I miss the espresso machine, the snacks, seeing people, playing boardgames after work. But that's because it's a 10 min. walk for me to go there. For some coworkers, it's a 1 hour drive each way, having to pay for parking, and needing to leave work no later than X because otherwise they have to pay extra. Also, I can concentrate more at home. In my previous job, I ended up moving to a small cubicle that was not being used, because I couldn't stand the noise of other people talking around me (had some loud speakers there).
