I'll never understand why people want to pay for their own home office and stay home by themselves all day. I'm an introvert and that seems antisocial. I imagine it's because most American commutes are so bad that it's easier to recreate the office in your own house. Ridiculous.
- mc32 4y agoBest of both is you can arrange your schedule so you can spend a day or two in the office and the rest at home or vice versa. In any case, some participation results in marked decrease in commuting (public or private).
- arrosenberg 4y agoI mostly don't want to commute. If I could walk or bike, I would be more inclined to go in.
- farnsworth 4y agoExactly
- scrubs 4y agoWith you ... I'm not mad for meetings nor do I miss the office ... I do wish it was way busier when I do go in ... 45% empty is bad vibe; too many buddies not there But stay home all day? No way. I'll go nuts. I usually go to a cigar shop or Starbucks and work only returning eod.
- HappySweeney 4y agoI, conversely, will never understand why people would want to shlep into work every day. If my job was so boring that I had to escape by chatting with coworkers, I would just find another job.
- farnsworth 4y agoIt's sure nice that humans don't need any sort of social contact during the day to be satisfied. We evolved to spend all day quietly reading a small glowing rectangle all day after all. Spending most of one's life at a small desk in the corner of a living room is the most comfortable environment we can aspire to.

- HappySweeney 4y agoI get all my social contact I need from my friends, and enjoy a pretty solid firewall between my personal and professional lives. I was hired to write code, not be made to entertain my extroverted colleagues that 'need social contact during the day to be satisfied'.
