Lots of chatter about the Shopify announcement. My ideal work environment is not WFH - it’s working together with a small team in a beautiful space that is walking distance from my home. My husband is so lucky to have this arrangement.
Also, I chose to buy my current loft based on a lifestyle and constraints that no longer exist, and I can’t just sell my place and move to a small town nor do I want to.
All to say I am not cheering on the WFH option as being better than an office for me. I enjoy not having a commute but otherwise would always rather have a workspace that is physically separate from my home & social interaction w/ a small group of people I like hanging out with.
I’m grateful that I have options to make WFH work for me but lots of ppl I know are stuck in their small spaces & can’t just rent/buy bigger spaces or move easily so it sucks for them. (eg if you have a partner who works in a hospital or restaurant or retail)
The reality is, working in large groups an office is not likely going to be possible for a long time so there is. o alternative but to make WFH more long term. But it’s not all good.
One more thought on this - will this change the makeup of small towns as people choose to leave big cities? I have always avoided living in a small place full time because of lack of diversity and openness to outsiders.
Something @amandahwood said made me think what an exciting time this is for HR and space designers. An opportunity to completely reimagine the modern workplace.
And the modern work wardrobe
