Varying opinions about working in cafes
I found this post at Web Worker Daily that sparked a very interesting discussion about whether or not it’s appropriate to do your work at an internet cafe.
There are quite a range of opinions with the opposite ends of the spectrum represented on the one hand by this comment:
How hopeless! You go to the cafes to relax and chat. Not effing work and tap away on your damn laptop.
and on the other hand by this:
Disagreeing with most comments on this — cafes like this are a “third space†for many of us. Not work, not home, but public yet available for working/surfing. One is “alone togetherâ€, which is often a very productive position indeed.
Many people feel more able to work with the background noise that comes from being in a public place, yet none of the folks around you are cow-orkers who will interrupt. Plus there is coffee. Bliss.
That’s my idea of bliss also, if you throw in a full kitchen with table service!
