Working in a different environment seems like a good idea! How do you solve the disconnected feeling from your company and team?

Also reduced motivation is tough. Are you seeing anything that might help with this?

Yeah it really helps. I rotate through a few different spots throughout the week (3 coffee shops, 2 workspaces and my gym clubhouse) I find it helpful to change scenery and be around other people, albeit the majority of them I don't know.

For me there's something about being in a place with others that keeps me concentrated and focused on the tasks at hand, breaking up the monotony of working from the same room at home every day.

I try to have very regular calls with my team and arrange days to meet and work together from a location we can all get to with relative ease, along with full team meet ups at least every month.

RE lack of motivation, I think it's more of a company culture issue rather than WFH itself.

I'm like you in the sense of having regular calls with the team. At least for me, it's important.

Also the lack of motivation because of company culture, what do you mean by that?
