I would imagine in Europe compared to the USA there are a lot more people in very small apartments or share houses in the cities, they do not lend themselves well to home working.
Additionally thats one company, maybe you just have a particularly social group of swes who like each other and a good office environment
- stkdump 5y agoHm, average apartment size in this city: 790 sq ft, average USA: 880 sq ft. Average household size my country: 1.99 ppl, average USA: 2.5 ppl. I guess we just have better working conditions in the office than average or in the USA.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoUSA houses are massive. Space is ridiculously expensive in Europe and nobody is used to it, so the market rarely offer that.
- react_burger38 5y agoA better comparison would be median single family home size in US, which is around 2,300 sq ft [1]. Over 60% of housing units in US are single family homes [2].

- gota 5y agoCan most of you walk or bike to work?
- stkdump 5y agoI guess ~15 people bike to work, the rest uses cars or public transport. I don't think anyone walks to work.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThis, I have been working remotely long before COVID and even if I could stay at home I was going to the office to see friends / have lunch / hit the gym / grab a beer. Nothing productive was getting done during those office days but they definitely made the job more tolerable and contributed to me not job hopping earlier.
