Trying to force my neuro-divergent brain to work in an office setting where I'm surrounded by noisy people (any people, really), lights that may flicker, and temperatures I can't control is going to limit my career a lot more than failing to have serendipitous conversations in a hallway.
What works for you may not be what works for everybody, and that's the point.
It could be that remote work would have limited your career advancement.
For me, it's the only reason I can have a career at all.

- smeej 5y agoWhat difference does it make whether their reasons are the same as mine or different from them?
- passivate 5y agoYou're right it wouldn't matter. I think I had a brain fart here. What I wanted to say was the thing with 'everybody has a point of view' is that not all points of view are equally represented in the population. I'm not going to dismiss the viewpoint of the people who do like coming in to work, if one person hates it. It would be nice to accommodate everyone's individual preferences in every situation, but realistically you can't make everyone happy if they're outside of whatever standard deviation a workplace can manage.
