I'm not banging any drums but I was excited to get back to an office. I think it's similar to the saying "Dress for Success", in that, when I'm in the office, I focus on work and get more done. Everything around me is work related and focused, there are no distractions, and I really get stuff done.
My situation may be a bit unique, in that I work in an office alone (we are a remote work team, but I still keep an office), and my commute is very short. Still, I've always found it hard working at home and being as productive as at an office.
- mumblemumble 6y agoSame here. I am remote, but, up until the shutdown, I worked out of a coworking space. Some things have improved. For example, my office-based colleagues' videoconferencing etiquette has improved dramatically. Nowhere near as many people doing things like leaving their camera off and blatantly working on other things instead of paying attention to the meeting. But my own sense of wellbeing has suffered, all the same. I find it much easier to maintain work-life boundaries when work happens somewhere else.
- giantDinosaur 6y agoThat's more than a 'bit' unique, that's very uncommon. Nice situation though.
- mynameishere 6y agoYeah, he might as well be rolling from his bedroom to his guest bedroom where he keeps his laptop. ... In any case, if anyone else here has worked in a nice office setup (4 walls + door, no uptight manager, no long commute, and no army boot camp style communal bathrooms) then you'll know that the main problem with working from an office is those particulars. WFH is nice simply because everybody's house is nicer than a trash office build-out.
