You're right that we shouldn't force people to pick, but I disagree with your conclusion. If you need to shut your door and grind through the problem, why come into the office at all? I like how GitHub has structured it: come to the office to collaborate, stay at home to have your "private office experience."
- owenmarshall 13y agoSee, I'm comfortable with that as a choice as well. Some days I'd be perfectly content working on my couch, but there are other days where I'd probably end up doing nothing but playing FIFA! Not only that but I can move from "grind away" time to "oh crap I need to collaborate" time very quickly, and I find it personally easier to collaborate in person. Again though, just a choice. And choice at work is a funny thing -- I've been asked if I want a Macbook or an HP laptop, if I need any software licenses for tools, if I want to get my reference books in ebook format or as actual books, but no one has ever asked me if I want an office or a cube or a desk in the middle of a room.
- scott_s 13y agoI like the routine of going somewhere everyday to work. It gets me in the mindset, "Okay, now it's time to work." I also like keeping as much separation as possible from "home" and "work." When I'm at home on my couch, I want that to be a place to relax.
