I generally don't use co-working spaces because I don't see the point.

Some people don't like the idea of working in the same room you sleep in, but I'm not one of those people.

Some people like waking up and getting up and dressing up and commuting to 'work' - it gives them a sense of routine.

But I'm not one of those people.

Some people like the idea of fraternising with other co-workers, but I'm not one of those people.

Cost is also a factor.

One of the benefits of working from home is that you cut down the costs of commuting to work to zero.

So why deliberately making it more than zero?

But time is the main one. Commuting to the nearest co-working space in my city would add between 70 and 120 minutes to my working day. Why the heck would I do that?

But my Revolut plan includes three WeWork day-passes. Fortunately (or unfortunately), there's WeWork in my hometown and no WeWork in the city I live in, but I travel a lot and so when I'm a new city with WeWork, I do take advantage of it.

For two reasons.

First, you know how it is - human psychology 101 - when you've got a free perk, you wanna use it. Especially when you realise a daily pass would be €60 if I had to pay for it.

Second, you get free coffee (all day) and free beer (after 4 or 5 PM, I can never remember which), which is a nice touch.

This is my second time working from a WeWork, and third time overall in a co-working space.

For WeWork, the first thing that stood out to me is that this feels like a cult. 100 percent.

I can't explain it, but you can tell.

My working day starts at 9 AM, and since my rented apartment here is five metro stops away, that means I can get away with waking up at 8 AM.

I'm in one of the Europe's busiest cities and here 8 AM is like midday.

Rush hour is probably 6 or 7 AM.

My WeWork is pretty empty at the minute, and with a bit of luck, it'll stay that way.

It's a nice location, though.

Which brings me on to the real issue I have with WeWork: this is not a tech company.

WeWork has often marketed itself (literally, that's why it reached this huge evaluation) as a tech company. But just because tech bros use your space that doesn't you make a tech company. This is a real estate company.

But you know the deal: anything with the word 'tech' attached to it is worth XY% more today.
