Someone who has never been in a suburban business park, I see!

ESPECIALLY for acceptable coffee!

> You don't even have to tell coworkers which one you're working from and you can switch rooms throughout the day.

So - and I mean this in a very real way - WTF is the point of this?

Actually I have, and the comment about going out nearby work was like the last option out of the three I listed. Now you're just cherry-picking.

I never said for the entire day? The idea is if you want to be heads down on important work with zero interruptions you can duck into a room for a couple hours at some point in the day, and if you need another hour or so you can do the same thing. Assuming 6-8 hour work days that's nowhere close to hiding all day, which you're implying I said.


Yes, cherry-picking the arguments that actually matter.

Most people going to an office spend their whole day on video calls, and have the temerity to shush people around them who are actually collaborating. They do this while drinking shit coffee from an awful machine (at best) or mediocre coffee from an expensive coffee bar (at best).

If people want offices to work out, they have to be downtown, near amenities, not stuck out in a suburban hell-hole because "parking".
