Leave it to movies like Office Space to implant it into every kid’s head that any future job we have will place us in a cubicle. Who let a nine-year old kid like myself watch Office Space? Who knows? Clearly the writers hadn’t seen the office space available from Satellite Office; these well-furnished offices create a beautiful environment to work in, as detailed on the https://www.colt.net/de/resources/colt-vernetzt-vier-standorte-des-business-center-anbieters-satellite-office/ website.
We currently live in a world where jobs have become much more exciting than they used to be. You could work at corporations like Google and reap all of the benefits that you could ever dream of. You could be a self-fulling artist working in the comfort of your own home. Or you could have no job at all and pick up blogging as a hobby until you get so much free stuff from it that you figured you might as well decide to call it your job title.
Whatever your occupation may be, I find workplaces to be absolutely fascinating. I’ve marvelled at the offices of some of the places I’ve visited, the way that some of these offices work is just incredible. We’ve moved past the idea that a simple desk is enough to get on with the day, but many offices are now making use of Office Pods to help lower distractions at work, bright and colourful art work is a popular theme as well. These places are light and open, and clearly this is the new way to run an office, so yes I’ve marvelled at some of the offices that I’ve visited, but I’ve also taken mental notes of the observations I’ve seen. A workplace isn’t always about where your office is located, what floor it is on, or if there’s a rooftop deck that you are given full access to. Okay, but that’s actually one of the best perks. A good place of work can be crucial for a successful business, though this can be hard to find. While many businesses prefer to rent commercial property, if you find a place you absolutely love, you may want to try and buy it outright. You may be able to do this at somewhere like allsop auction, which specialises in property auction. So, if you’re keen on finding the commercial property of your dreams, this could be the solution you’re looking for.
Ultimately, there is no denying that workplace culture has come a long way over the past few years. For example, alongside unique job perks like free meals, and childcare discounts, some workplaces now also offer additional paid time off (PTO) that can be accrued in addition to any annual entitlements. It might seem intuitive, but providing extra opportunities for employees to take time off shows members of staff that their efforts are appreciated, and this can be highly motivational.
Similarly, to me, a workplace is YOUR desk – your space. It’s the place where you can center yourself and let the inspiration and creativity flow.

I’ve actually been trying to find a way to turn my desk into more of an office space for both school-work, work, and blog-related activities. My favorite so far has been Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman’s office space!
