I worked from home for two years and I genuinely missed the interactions I had with my coworkers. I got rather lonely.
Just wildly spit balling here- ( assume this is for a company who truly cares about living conditions & employees ) what if we convert apartment buildings to office spaces, where employees could get cheap priced housing and work from home. Employees who don’t want a house (and or cant afford it) could pay a small price for rent and then there could be a separate building on site for employees who either have a home or want to work in the office. ( with the option of working from home still available )
There could be on-site laundry units, gym, pool. All the amenities you’d get with an apartment complex. Imagine being able to walk to work or even just staying in your apartment and working from there.
It wouldn’t force people to work on site, just have several options for employees + added luxuries for working in office? 🙂
It’s a wild idea but done well I think it could be really nice? Thoughts on this?
Some additional thoughts I had:
If you quit your job or are fired- your lease agreement would be separate from your work contract. Meaning you would still have housing for how ever long your lease was for.
Your lease price would stay the same- but if your no longer employed I think you’d have to move out as soon as the lease is up. With the exception if you quit / are fired close to the lease end date, you could file for extension for a few months while you decide your next move 🙂
