Never left. Doing NOC, and occasionally have to kick some iron, so my team has to stay in the office.
Stripper pole
A healthy office culture and team members to collaborate with. I go to the office because interacting with my coworkers in person is enjoyable and I learn new things faster through those interactions. It helps that we also have free coffee and snacks and the commute is less than 10 minutes but I primarily go in because of the people I work with.
Wait you guys are allowed to work remote full time?
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I work as an IT guy for a small business (6 people total) and I honestly prefer working in the office:
- it's easier to focus, I'm much more effective than when doing work at home, despite 95% of my work being possible to be done remotely
- I like most of the 5 people I work with
- I prefer separating life and work: I go to the office, do the work, go home and don't think about it until the next time I'm over there. I wouldn't like to associate my apartment with the mundane tasks I sometimes have to do for work
Also the commute isn't bad because I live in a well-connected district in a European capital. It's a 12 minute door-to-door bus ride for me, I don't even bother driving.
Nothing. Been working from home for 4 years and wouldnt go back for nothing.
Okay, maybe if we had 2 pizza fridays a week.
