I think a lot of it is the exact circumstances of you office as well. All else equal I think I would actually prefer working in an office assuming that:
1. It felt like a "real" space (i.e. not a beige cubical farm)
2. Was not excessively loud
3. I had a comfortable chair/workspace
4. I could walk there from my house in under 20 minutes
5. There was no dress code
6. There was nobody there who I found deeply annoying and also insisted on interacting with me regularly
And I think a lot of people (especially young people who live in cities close to where they work) actually do have something approximating that situation.
- ecshafer 5y agoBeing able to walk there from my house in under 20 minutes is a big thing for me. If I am a 1-3 miles walk/bike ride, I would go to the office all of the time. Assuming its a safe comfortable commute. I hate driving in rush hour personally, any amount of distance. Also feeling like a real place is nice. I actually don't mind a cubical, though an office would be nicer. I really hate open office though, and open office makes me never want to go in. If it felt like a cozy coffee shop, or a college campus that would be ideal.
- thinkharderdev 5y agoYeah, I don't mind a cubicle per se (especially compared to the typical open office) but I found the traditional cubicle farm offices, where everything is this bland, monochromatic beige color and lit with neon lights, very depressing.
