The reason I like working from home is that I control the environment 100%. Temperature, chair, desk, monitor, computer, etc.
At the office, they play music on a Sonos system all day long and this alone prevent me from going there because it saps my focus. I prefer working in silence. Also, there's always someone passing in front of my office looking at what I'm going and this annoys me.
So for me to return to the office would mean accepting an inferior environment that saps my productivity. What's the benefit?
- silicon2401 5y agoI think, unfortunately, lots of people can't and don't empathize with our predicament. I feel the same way as you. I hate coworkers who come over to chat and stare at my screen (even though it's just whatever I'm working on). I hate the one guy's air purifier or the office AC constantly running. I hate the temperature being too hot or too cold, not having a good way to put up my feet, not having control over lighting or where I sit. These things make day to day life miserable and hopefully the pandemic will let people like us have greater freedom from these gripes.
