So interesting to see all the home-office setups

Instead of having face-to-face meetings, we moved to zoom and we spoke to each other from our living rooms, kitchen tables, and home offices.
And if you've ever spent a meeting analysing every little detail of a colleague's background - you're definitely not alone!
54% of all remote workers in a recent survey admit to judging their colleagues’ office decor or furniture during virtual meetings.
But it goes both ways - 64% said they were so concerned about being judged themselves that they decided to upgrade their own space.
That explains the rise in background filters like a Hawaii beach or just a simple blur!
Commissioned by Oliver Space and conducted by OnePoll, the study also found that as the pandemic went on, people got sick of the home office and ended up working in pretty much any other room of the house.
Of the 1,385 respondents who have worked from home at some point during the past 18 months, 85% of them regularly do it somewhere other than a home office.
Instead, the most popular non-office work locations are living rooms (28%), bedrooms (20%) and dining rooms (15%).
