Office sucks.
Let me list a few things:
- Hot desks
- People laughing and constantly talking while you are trying to focus
- Unstable temperature making you freeze or boil
- Uncomfortable and unhealthy desks/chairs
- Often lack of proper screens/equipment
- Getting squeezed in trains to commute - spending at best an extra hour per day
- Unhealthy and expensive dietary options around work
- Contamination of diseases
- Useless meetings and team activities that usually produce zero value
Not to mention how bad this is for the environment. And no, a ping-pong or foosball table doesn't make the office cool. It's like adding chocolate syrup on a rotten fruit to make it edible.
