Whenever I look at a coworking space, I feel like they are missing the point.
Companies are globally distributed and people spend a LOT of time on conference calls, but most coworking spaces have an open layout that is at best not conducive to conference calls, and often they are not allowed.
I have been working effectively remotely for the past 15 years. Until COVID hit, still commuted to the office, but had very little interaction with local co-workers for actual work. I did appreciate the social aspect, though—water cooler conversations, lunches, company events.
Now that I am fully remote, I would appreciate the opportunity to get out of the house one or two days a week, but I am unable to find a single coworking space that offers private cubicles. They all want you to rent an entire meeting room for conference calls at an exorbitant price.
