It's interesting that you say that because I have the opposite experience. When I'm at the office I find that people around me talking causes a significant distraction. I use noise-canceling headphones almost all day at work just to block out the noise.
In addition, I sit right next to a QA guy that works on my product and I can easy waste half a day dealing with his issues and questions.
I find that I get significantly more work done while at home because I don't have the distraction of coworkers tying up my time. I also find I tend to put in at least an hour more a day because I work when I would normally be commuting.
- varelse 14y agoMy experiences are similar. But I suspect putting in a day or two a week listening to your QA guy might be a good thing in the long term.
- Osiris 14y agoIt has it's pros and cons, that's for sure. In some ways it's very good and in other ways it can be distracting.
- freehunter 14y agoIt really just depends on how much your job requires collaboration with other people, and what tools your company employs to make this possible. At my job, the first one is a lot, and the second one is next to nothing.
