It\u2019s everywhere, \u201clike this post if you rather working from home, laugh if you want split and angry if you want the office\u201d and the results are surprisingly swung in favour of split or working from home. But why? I think it\u2019s mostly in part to how awful offices can be. So often, much like my last jobs, it\u2019s desks back to back, rows and rows of people answering phones and looking like the window is a nicer option\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From bed to bed? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When, and I say when because, let\u2019s be real, we\u2019re all less productive when working from home and what company likes that, we return to our offices, things need to change. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of being in an office after countless months of working from a desk in my bedroom. Our homes aren\u2019t designed for work \u2013 that\u2019s not what they were ever designed for! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was bliss being back in an office. Being around people, leaning over the desk to ask a question rather than waiting an hour for a one word response on Slack. Taking a quick wander to the coffee machine, picking up some fruit on the way back, gazing at the large spacious meeting rooms, looking out the window on the third floor and gawping at the city passing by. Even heading out to the shop to grab something for lunch was so refreshing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An office, but different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
But, am I not just describing a stereotypical office that I literally said in the title is s**t? No. You see, my current employers office feels more open, spacious, warm, welcoming, relaxed, comforting and bright than the last office I worked in. We\u2019ve got monkeys holding onto lamps, a pool table in the canteen area, we (when covid wasn\u2019t a thing before I joined the company :sadpanda:) have drinks on a Friday on the balcony<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is your stereotypical office but <\/strong>with a human touch, someone put time and thought into designing it and making it like a second home, because that\u2019s exactly what it is. If you spend 8 hours sleeping a day, work 8.45 to 5.30 and commute an hour each way, in a Monday to Friday period you spend around 30 hours actually doing stuff at home whereas you spend anywhere upwards of 45 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
