Lawyer here; my office is a paradise and working outside of it is a huge drag. Who is going to teach me stuff or make my binders at my house? Am I supposed to be meeting with clients in my kitchen? Where am I supposed to keep all my case materials? Am I supposed to provide my own food?
I really think the key here is that VC has spent twenty years convincing you IT people that “the office” is a floor in a skyscraper with 400 cubicles and no walls or doors or services. If your office actually had any of the redeeming factors of an office, you might feel a little differently, no?
- wink 3y agoSerious question: Are you a partner or owner of the office or just a cog in the wheel like most of us? I mean, if it was my company of course I would like the office I built to my standards.
- singleshot_ 3y agoI am the lowest of the low, a junior associate. One day I aspire to be a cog but right now I’m just trying to learn without causing problems.
- makeitdouble 3y agoI abused the term "office" to mean "shared office", but your point stands. If you're getting physical help for your work, including food, it's a pretty convincing proposition.
