Every picture I've ever seen of a place like WeWork has shown an open floor plan. They might have offices, but they're going to be extra expensive.
And since there's no such thing as "your desk" there, you will never feel at ease. Every day might bring someone that's incredibly annoying, and collaborating with your coworkers would mean either annoying others or booking a conference room.
In the end, it's easier to collaborate with them via video from home.
I think there are advantages to having an office, but I don't think collab work places have those advantages.
- Aeolun 5y agoYeah. My point in organizing it between the remote workers themselves was kind of so you could bypass places like WeWork. The idea is to have a building/location with actual private offices after all.
- dinvlad 5y agoOn their front-page, they advertise "Private, move-in ready offices" for "1-20+" people as one of the options, which is why I mentioned them. Of course, that could just mean "open-office space private to a particular company", and that's what makes it a bit confusing. But yes, other options are clearly just open-office space.
