Sure I get meetings you need to go to separate rooms, but how is the rest is different from a regular open office? Oh no, my co-working space has the person I like to spend time with?
- Paracompact 7mo agoMeetings aren't infrequent for many jobs. As well, small homes may not have the desired desk space for multiple full-time offices.

I'm not saying everyone must be WFH or that everyone must have a home office. I'm just having hard time imagining how two people cannot WFH in a 1-bedroom apartment. Unless both of them work in a call center.

I agree, and a lot of my 'participation' in these meetings these days is read the papers, write my opinion, attach it to the documents and tell people I'm not attending. That said we're 5 years in to this thing and people haven't adapted.
