For background on this topic without getting too specific, I’m an engineer and I typically work in an office. I’m younger and haven’t been in the work force for long but working in office spaces is driving me insane.
Now I understand that work isn’t supposed to be super fun, but I’d like to at least be able to tolerate it. So far I’ve spent a couple years in offices and it’s been miserable. I enjoy what I do as far as engineering. I like the topics, I like the productive parts of what I do. But I cannot stand office spaces. They’re uncomfortable and depressing environments for me.
I feel like spending time working from home would be ideal, but I’d like to hear people’s thoughts and if anyone else has had this experience. Is it something you just get used to?
How many offices have you worked in? I’ve worked in 3. They’ve been different. I loved my first office bc I was 10 ft from the industrial tools I worked on. My second office was ok, bc there was a big window and was easy to drive to. My current office sucks bc they’re not repairing the building: the carpet is old and stained, the paint is flaking off, and the gym and cafeteria are 5 miles away at the main campus. Every company is different.
