> How can you claim that your home office is better than your employer's when it doesn't even have a whiteboard? Because "better" is a function with multiple inputs. The whiteboard was better, true, but by comparison the commute sucks, the noise sucks, the desk sucks, the chair sucks. The whiteboard is a pretty minor thing, in the scoring of it all. (I actually do have a whiteboard at home, but it's ~8x11". Pen and paper, and Krita, make up the difference, I suppose.) > Employers that want employees in the office should invest in offices to the point that it is a better office than a corner of your home. … they should… but they don't? I've worked the majority? all? of my career in offices on 4ft desks, most of it on open office floorplans. The "best" in half-height cubical. Best I ever got was a summer internship with a full-height shared cube. > but why do you claim that the home office you have shoved into a corner is better than what any employer will provide? Larger desk area, quieter environment, better view, better equipment. > I don't think that it's unreasonable that, if they want me in the office, that I have the same sort of set up there. I agree. Employers, in my experience, don't.
