I worked from home and started to hate being so lonely - heck, I became best friends with the butcher, the veggie stand clerk and the cheese store manager (my lunch hour break). I work in a cube now, and although it has its negative aspects, it beats being lonely. It really depends on how you like to work and the environment. The office is not for everyone. It is too bad Aaron didn't do a test run for a week or two...many companies allow potential employees to do that before accepting/rejecting a job. You don’t win either way.

How many people regret working in a boring, poorly designed office vs. working with boring, poorly-performing people? You can stand a bad space if you have great colleagues, but a well-designed space doesn't make bad people any more bearable. It isn’t the office that makes or breaks an environment; it’s the team.
