What’s the hardest thing about your work environment?

Amberet

For me it’s the noise of conversations around me in an open office - I find it really hard to tune out. And being interrupted frequently when I’m focusing on something.

Oh, and hot desking (which I thankfully don’t have to do anymore but made me so anxious every day for years). 

I could go on…!

  • I work from home as a contractor, so it's my own space and all my own stuff, but I still get that pang of nerves when work messages come through on slack, or if I get sudden work calls. Our house internet was broken for several weeks, and it was bliss to not be any to do calls or meetings.

    I used to work in an office, but even then it was a more relaxed environment then most offices, being games industry so it was on the more casual side. I don't think I could work in the environments a lot of other people are describing, and I really think hot-desking should be banned, that sounds like a nightmare!
