I'm 27, and I've never worked full-time from an office. And I don't think I ever will.
People’s reactions are entertaining. They range from “Where do you make friends?” or “Wow, I wish!”.
But the truth is, as long as it's in my control, I'll never ever work from an office every day.
Even though remote work has its ups and downs, at Chameleon, we've found a very happy medium that lets me feel like part of a team and still have a life. Here’s how:
⏰ Flexible work hours. Your output is your currency. Get your work done in the hours you're most productive.
🇪🇸 Colleagues in the same country. Thoughtful hiring allows me to get together with colleagues who live close by.
🍩 Donut chats. Weekly slots for casual conversations with random team members each week.
This, coupled with the rise of communities like Timeleft and Guiris de Mierda, never leaves you short of fun plans and opportunities to make real friends.
And on the same note... It's not just because you work in an office that you'll make friends... If anything, the fact that I don't waste time commuting or gossiping to the person next to me at work leaves me more time to attend real-life, non-work-related events than the average office-life employee.
But that’s just my take. Would love to hear the other side! Personally, I’ll take the ability to work out when I’m not exhausted and sneak in 20-minute naps over free coffee any day.
And a big shoutout to Revolut Ultra for my 3 monthly WeWork passes when I start to miss office life (on my terms 😉).
