I have worked in offices. I have worked from home. There are definite advantages of both.
When you work from home, you can stop in the middle of the day and take a nap. You don’t have to change out of your pajamas until sometime in the afternoon. Brush your teeth whenever you want (of course you *should* want to right away!).
When you work in an office, you are constantly challenged to get the job done. You are in an environment where other people are dedicated to their own tasks and responsibilities. You have the opportunity to interact socially and to brainstorm ideas and strategies.
Working in an office can be .. FUN! From Cyrus Massoumi on Linked In,
Find ways to make work fun. While the occasional happy hour or Ping-Pong tournament certainly doesn’t hurt, there is a distinction between having fun at work and making work fun. Whether it’s including a funny Easter egg on our 404-page or rewarding success with a victory lap (cape and all) around the office, I’m always impressed by how innovative our team is at bringing happiness to their experience at ZocDoc. If the work you do brings a smile to your face and the faces of your colleagues, it’s a pleasure to contribute in person every day.
I look forward to Mondays, personally. I like asking my colleagues how their weekends were. I like hearing about their children’s performance in a play or about the family reunion. I like going to the office!
