Yea, i'm very pro-WFH, but i've built my life around it. I own a house with an office. I can't imagine trying to WFH on a couch or some desk in my living room while my wife cooks/watches TV/etc.
With that said i still hope people see more chances to WFH, and can start buying/renting homes with this in mind. I have a three bedroom house, turned into 2 offices 1 bedroom, and it worked wonderfully for my wife and I during these WFH times. My wife fwiw was not a WFH person before Covid, but she is currently, and she has adapted quite easily with a dedicated office. One of her coworkers however lived in a tiny apartment with two children and no office. Her QOL was miserable.
- jjtheblunt 6y agowe inadvertantly made exactly the situation you couldn't imagine happen, as our house is very new but purposefully small, and the TV and noise with no office is distracting. Honestly wouldn't wish it on others, because it's frustrating when one is accustomed to being able to totally focus.
