Our post-covid USSP office was small and full of furniture from our rush to downsize

Unfortunately, we ended up downsizing during lockdown and that was sub-optimal for a few reasons. There wasn't anything wrong with the space per-se, but it was small and uninspiring and when it got busy, it was really hard to concentrate. It probably didn't help that it was half full with flat-packed furniture from our older larger space making it feel cluttered and scruffy. Also, post-COVID working patterns have changed a lot.

We looked at a few local offices before settling on Spaces Whiteley. It's about 20 minutes down the motorway from the old office location and it's a modern co-working setup managed by IWG (the guys who also own Regus).

There's a pool table (ah we missed you pool), loads of communal break-out space with comfy seating and a couple of sound-proofed phone booths for us to take calls from when the office gets busy.

Like USSP it has loads of really nice scenery and walks nearby but it definitely wins in terms of amenities. It's a 15 minute walk from an outdoor mall with a bunch of different restaurants and coffee shops.

I think the team have generally been enjoying the new space more too. People tend to want to come in more frequently and make use of the new space a few days a week. I've been enjoying going in more regularly too. The new office location means that I no longer need to drive on the motorway to get to work so I'm considering starting to cycle in a couple of times a week instead. diff --git a/brainsteam/content/posts/2023/08/14/Prod-Ready Airbyte Sync.md b/brainsteam/content/posts/2023/08/14/Prod-Ready Airbyte Sync.md index d138b29..c8220a7 100644 --- a/brainsteam/content/posts/2023/08/14/Prod-Ready Airbyte Sync.md +++ b/brainsteam/content/posts/2023/08/14/Prod-Ready Airbyte Sync.md @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ draft: false tags: [] title: Prod-Ready Airbyte Sync type: posts +url: /2023/08/14/stable-airbyte-sync/ --- @@ -182,7 +183,7 @@ type: posts -
