I feel like it's an unpopular opinion regarding remote work, but this is a big positive effect I feel being in an office that only works when others are there too, hah.
- PragmaticPulp 4y agoIt may not be popular on the internet, but it’s true for many. Context switching into an office where people around you are focusing sets the tone for work. Conversely, switching into an office where everybody is chatting away will hurt focus for the same reasons. This is why it’s important to have good working context whether you’re in the office or at home.
- nazka 4y agoDepends the type of job! For the little story I had a job at a small startup 50+ people. We were like 20 people at the tech and we had 20 sellers. The whole company was in the same floor open space one big room. Sellers loved to chat all the time, be loud, cut each other in what they were doing… A big contract closed on the phone? They had a small belt to be ringed! At some point it was so noisy that even with headphones we couldn’t concentrate. Of course the tech part of room was quite silent. One time we asked them how can they ever focus with this noise and be productive?? They said that for them it’s like giving them the smile, being chatty being part of the job, the adrenaline rush to make it seems like the next big deal is right there on the next call.
