[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been told to go home and work from there until the end of time. I hate it though, I find it demotivating so my productivity and focus have dropped considerably. Are there offices you can rent somewhere in Arlington or thereabouts? [/quote]

I'm curious about this: So it isn't the coworkers you miss, but the office furniture? The institutional bathrooms?[/quote]

OP here. I miss having a professional environment and corporate-level facilities, e.g. desks, chairs, printers, shredders etc. I don’t care about the people, I’m only friends with the cleaning people. Plus I hate the conference calls. Do we really have to listen to people’s stupid dogs yapping away, or gurgling toddlers? I don’t see how this is a viable way to work. I don’t miss the toilets.

What is stopping you from getting a nice desk, printer, and shredder? I have all of those things (had them even before Covid). Do what you like, but this seems like a dumb reason to waste $1k/month[/quote]

Not OP, but I don't have the room for that in my house.  Both my spouse and I are working from home and due to a bad and unsafe daycare experience, we now have in-home child care.  I rent a space at We Work 1-2x a week.  I really like having somewhere to go and work uninterrupted that's comfortable.  We live in the city and our house is small but it is close to our offices. We are waiting to see how often we will have to go back to the office and will decide from there whether we need to move somewhere where both of us can have dedicated offices or stay here.   Until then, We Work it is. [/quote]
