Norway. Managed to partially include my secretary, Luna, in the picture. Office security is handled by Rhea who is lurking outside somewhere.

Nice!
Not a bad view at all
It's surrounded on all sides by the building it's in. No windows to the outside.
😟
Aren't most workplaces like this?
I don't know. I'm in Europe, Austria, and workplaces here MUST provide natural light and sight lines to the outside. There are, of course, exceptions for where it is not possible, such as photo labs or discos.
I currently work from a 15th floor and can see the Danube and stuff.
Where I live, it's a 50/50 possibility. I have a few jobs (privatized media/social worker, inn coordination, artist, and assistant teacher within the outsourced school system where I'm simultaneously a student/classmate), and in all of these, it depends on the layout. The hallways winds around in two of these. And in the case of the inn, I don't really have an office per se.
The boss is always staring at me...
OBEY BOSS KITTEH
I don't have an office, but there are literally zero windows in the room I work in at work. So I have no idea what the outside world generally looks like.
I'm peripatetic - I move between 3 different offices in a typical week, plus occasionally WFH. So:
- Coastal heath, birch & oak woodland, the sea off to the side and a nuclear reactor in the background. In the autumn we'll get a starling murmuration in the later afternoon.
- A small stretch of rough grass and a river wall, with the top of a couple of abandoned military buildings over the top of that. The occasional hare or barn owl will pass by.
- The lawn and occasional ornamental trees of a moderately-sized country house with a shallow valley and more woodland behind that.
- A tussocky lawn, a couple of larch and a spectacular old oak, then a mixed alder and ash covert with a small stream behind that. Hares, a great spotted woodpecker and the occasional stoat put in an appearance.
That sounds gorgeous! You're the winner of the thread so far
I'm a refrigeration service tech so the closest thing I have to an office is my work van so the view is constantly changing. But, so far, I have actually wound up attending most of my zoom meetings from customer rooftops so if you count that as my office then my office has some pretty stunning views fairly frequently.
car mechanic here, i don't have office.
I have a window view of a cubicle farm.
There's also a nice skylight. It's giant, it spans most of the cubicle farm. The kind of thing you'd see in an upscale mall. But of course we can't have that, so they covered it with a tarp. (To be fair, it is hot here in the southern part of USA. I get the need to somewhat lower the A/C bill).
Four walls. One of them has a door.
Look at fancy pants here with 4 walls and a door!
Google "iconic views of São Paulo". One of first ones is the view from my office. Not telling you exactly one, because there's already enough information about me here to dox me with that.
That bridge is way cool!!!
All the urbanists on São Paulo hate it because it wasn't built thinking on public transit and buses can't used it. At least they're building a monorail close to it that will help fixing the access to that zone.
I googled and immediately turned green with envy
I dont work in an office. Havent for years. If you mean the view from the room where work, It looks out onto the driveway and parking lot of an industrial facility. Not the most picturesque of views.
I've got a view of a busy intersection and a dispo
My "office" window looks out onto the factory floor. Specifically, it looks directly at storage and a walking path passes directly in front of the window. So, since I'm next to a bathroom, I see people walking past and lots of forklift traffic.
I look at another office across the room. My walls are fabric cubicle.
River view. Sunrise hits my desk around 0830, lasts until 1300 when it goes behind the adjacent building.
I watch the tug boats. It's crazy expensive for my other-side-of-the-tracks self - $4/sqft/mo - but we're wildly happy here.
Edit: downvotes on a positive and - I think - relevant answer? Baffling.
