> I don't want to wake up early, drive my car in traffic jams, find a parking spot, see that someone stole my favourite (but still bad) office chair, sit in an open office full of noisy people, working on shared & dirty keyboards, looking at small budget screens, on desks that can't be adjusted.
What... where do you work? Budget screens? Bad office chairs? We're quite spoiled in the US with big tech. Everyone gets giant monitors and Herman Miller chairs sprinkled with freedom.
- greedo 4y agoI hope you're being sarcastic, since this isn't the case with my office. We do have some Aeron chairs, but those were bought over a decade ago, and new chairs are decidedly non-ergonomic. And monitors? Nothing 4k (much less 5K for the Apple guys), just generic 24" screens that are terrible.
- ctvo 4y agoOnly a little bit. I've worked primarily with big tech and startups. We've always had top of the line equipment. No one blinked at the fully spec'd Macbook Pros, 34" monitors, standing desks, and 2,000 USD ergonomic chairs.

In the rare case you do find a good setup you tend to also see people hijacking your stuff when they get to the office before you do.
- theandrewbailey 4y ago(American here) Only 1 of the dozen or so offices I've worked at gave everyone Herman Millers. At least each one had dual budget screens instead of 1, or we could bring our own. No hotdesking.
