One potentially tricky thing is that larger companies may have rules against co-working.
My last BigCo employer had a lot of WFH (as exceptions and due to acquisitions or site closures, the overall policy was butts in seats, but still). If you actually read the security policies, you saw lots of things that would make co-working de facto a fireable offense.
But I doubt it was ever enforced, and I bet a lot of people did it. I had a proper home office instead.
It’s best to know what the co-working rules are at your employer.
O/T: Apple autocorrect thinks “coworking” should be “cowering” which is probably a worst-case version of my point...
- DharmaPolice 6y agoNot saying I agree but I can see some logic in that kind of restriction. If you're in a traditional office most of the information you work with will be accessible (to some extent) to those around you and either way, they can be held to account as employees. If you're in a purely public location you're likely to be quite guarded about who has view of your screen and maybe you will avoid working on anything sensitive. But in a shared space it's potentially the worst of both worlds - you might be comfortable / friendly with those near you, but they have zero legal relationship with your employer.
