Where do remote workers go in New York City when they want to get out of their apartments during the work day? Coffee shops are banning laptops, or putting hour-limitations on them, acutely decreasing the amount of third places in the city that people can easily work from.
What does this do? It keeps young New Yorkers with remote jobs cooped up, working from their bedrooms, couches, or kitchen tables. More than anything, it keeps them isolated.
This isolation, if continued, will be detrimental to Gen Z who are just entering the workforce. Already an antisocial generation, Gen Z has become so comfortable being alone, even if they want to get out more, socialize more, meet new people. The overwhelming consensus is that no one really knows how to make new friends despite wanting them.
With places around the city to work remotely while also being out in your neighborhood and amongst other living, breathing people dwindling by the day, what are we to do? How do we live more social lives when sometimes it feels like the city is isolating us?
Well, we're working on a solution. With the fluxo app, you can book a spot to work from in your neighborhood, whether that’s a bar, brewery, restaurant, hotel lobby. You’re able to work from the best places in the city, without the stress of laptop limitations, full capacities, weak wifi, etc.
Your fluxo booking ensures a spot to work from, unlimited coffee, filtered water, accessible power outlets, and steady wifi—all the essentials to have a productive day of work. And, you’ll be amongst other remote workers looking for the same experience as you.
fluxo is the two birds, one stone solution to the coffee shop-laptop ban and loneliness epidemic. And it’s just weeks away from being at your fingertips.
