Why is it so hard saying goodbye to a coworking space?

Remember the welcoming greetings, soulful smiles, innovative vibe in the air and cheerful members? Not to mention the speedy WiFi, free beverages and spacious, comfortable desks?


You may not necessarily come into OurDesk for these perks, but having them makes all the difference when you have to face another mundane 9-5 day. Hey, we aren’t complaining ;)

Goodbyes are not always the easiest but they're necessary.

Think back to the times you felt the weight of responsibility on your shoulders as you typed a challenging email to your manager. Or maybe when you heard of a colleague who resigned as they chased their ambitions in a new workspace. Do you remember how you exchanged sarcastic glances with your work bestie when your manager put a new ‘file’ on your desk at 4:50pm on a Friday? 


Office spaces never actually feel like they’re an integral part of anyone’s life - that’s until you have to say goodbye. You realise then, how a space where you spend almost 40% of your time can have a positive impact on your life.


Much like we’ve formerly spent nearly 8-9 hours attending schools and colleges. Do you recall the bittersweet feeling you felt while saying goodbye to either of the institutions? Bidding adieu to a coworking space feels close to it. Majorly because there’s a sense of belonging which is instilled amongst the members, forming a community.


You might think that some people who book desks at co-working spaces for a short period of time may not feel like that when it's time to leave. But think of what they leave behind when they go back to working from home? It’s the feeling of being in a space filled with inspiring and motivating people that's hard to find elsewhere. 


And for some, it’s the perks of working from a coworking space that’s easy to get to, because who can really deal with the traffic in Mumbai? (Not us!)


There may be extenuating circumstances that force you to say goodbye to your co-working space but you can't escape the fact that every member will leave with vivid memories - hopefully those filled with genuine smiles, inside jokes and (maybe) sarcastic stares! 


It’s the small things that create the biggest impact! 


So, the question remains…why is it so hard for some to say goodbye to a coworking space? Tell us in the comments below.
