Five Characters You Can Meet in Coworking Spaces

Work from home is a horrible idea. Of course, working from bed and having unlimited access to snacks was fantastic at first, but eventually, poor internet service, tasteless coffee, and pajamas became intolerable. Unfortunately, going back to work in the office appears worse for many individuals. Coworking spaces are the ideal option because nothing can ever return to how it was.

Coworking spaces are a common working environment where individuals and companies can rent temporary office space every month. This flexible alternative to traditional offices is more than just an open office for those with a lot of work. Coworking spaces also attract a certain type of person. People from all walks of life and careers work together to inspire and motivate each other, which means a lot of communication, delightful working hours, pioneering tips, and abundant creativity.

It is no wonder that working from home is not the worst thing for employees; a study conducted by Angus Reid reported an increase in productivity, mental health, and even social communication among employees working from home.

One member of over half of Canadian families claimed to work from home. When asked to return to the office, 2 out of 5 respondents said they would resume full-time employment, while 1 out of 4 said they would begin looking for another position. 5% of respondents indicated they would quit immediately, and 65% said they preferred a hybrid approach in which employees split their time between the office and their homes. In this area, teamwork has flourished and produced greater results than it did at first.

If you have decided to wear comfortable clothes, return to employees, and join coworking gatherings, what do you expect?

Five of the strangest characters you can meet in these workplaces:

1. Communication Expert:

If you're new to the job and a little nervous, this communication expert will be the link between you and the rest of the office. You'll quickly discover that they know everyone and are usually the first person to introduce themselves to you. So you'll always have someone to talk to on a coffee break, and you won't see them with a laptop, but chances are you'll hear a lot of that person's conversations and thoughts. However, it's this category that makes coworking workplaces full of opportunities that traditional office spaces lack.

2. Disoriented Freelance Writer:

Nothing appeals to a creative person like flexible working hours and endless opportunities for new and innovative ideas. You will find freelance translators walking around the office with headphones and laptops in their hands, seemingly uninterested in the world—unless they have a deadline. You'll see disoriented freelancers typing on their computers at lightning speed and getting up from behind them only to refill coffee cups, and when they can't come up with new ideas, these socially influenced innovators may ask you for tips to reignite the creative flame.

3. Mother-like Personality:

This cheerful personality often spreads a sense of belonging in coworking spaces. They bring positivity, warmth, and irresistible home sweets with them to work. If you encounter a toxic workplace, you can rest assured that this mother-like employee will never let it happen in your collective workplace, where you can find them guiding anyone who needs help.

4. Workplace Resident:

You will see these people whenever you enter the office; they never seem to leave, and you might have seen a toothbrush they use in the bathroom one day.

These are usually dedicated developers who are usually building a startup that will take off overnight. They won't tell you all the details, but they will tell you that they have something exciting coming up soon when asked. They work all hours of the day, and they make use of the workplace 24/7, to the point where you start asking yourself if they live there.

5. Coffee Obsessed:

You can find this person in their dedicated office—which they asked to be right next to the kitchen—constantly sipping coffee. Unsurprisingly, your caffeine-addicted co-workers are very energetic, a little nervous, and always happy to share coffee with others.

In Conclusion:

Anyone you meet in the coworking space is looking to escape the traditional office monotony and distractions found at home to spend time with other thinking individuals like them.
