Interestingly, I don't know anybody who misses the office. We're all techies and designers and nobody complained. We do miss having a beer after work every now and then, but we don't miss the office itself at all.
- majewsky 6y agoI don't miss "the office" as a singular entity, but I miss properties of the office: - air conditioning - coffee corner chats - lunch with colleagues - strong separation between work time and free time
- globular-toast 6y agoYeah that's my experience. We miss certain aspects of it like beer after work etc, but no way does that outweigh how bad the office was in other ways. The pointless commute, the constant distraction, the shared facilities etc. A win-win is rare in life; most things come with tradeoffs. This is no different.
- Aeolun 6y agoI don’t miss the office when everybody is there, but going in now, when there’s only 10 people in the 200 person floor is glorious. All amenities and none of the negatives.
- dagw 6y agoI miss getting out of the house and having a 'clean' space where I can focus on work without any not-work people or not-work distractions around me. I miss the separation between having a work desk with a work computer and a hobby desk with a hobby computer and being physically unable to interact with one while at the other due to them literally being several miles apart. I miss the clear demarcation between Working and Not Working that the daily commute signified.
- dbbk 6y agoThis is why I now work from my own coworking space, while the rest of my company work from home. It's a nice middle ground.
