I ONCE WORKED IN AN OFFICE that was completely “toxic” — bad lighting, poor HR policies, uninspiring decor, etc. Looking at this infographic, and realizing how much more on the left side my previous job seemed to be, it’s no wonder there was such low workplace morale.
Since becoming location independent, I am more attuned to what makes me a productive worker. I need natural light, fresh air from the outside, and privacy (I hate working in cafes or libraries).
