“I’ve worked from several coworking spaces but I’ve never stayed too long. After a few weeks or months at a space, I would find myself the prisoner of water-cooler lollygagging and gossipy conversations. Having to politely navigate my way out of being an involuntary accomplice to others’ procrastination is annoying, so I gave up and went back to working from coffeehouses,” states James Cropcho in his article, Coworking in NYC using Croissant recently featured in New Worker Magazine. James Cropcho is a freelance technologist represented by 10x Management.

Jame’s explains, “For those like me who don’t view friendly office banter in a very friendly light, there is a middle ground now, at least in NYC. A few weeks ago I started using Croissant, a platform enabling pay-by-the-minute seating at 23 coworking spaces in New York City and one in nearby Hoboken. I’ve used the platform to supplement my list of go-to work spots. It’s much easier to just work using Croissant.” Read more here.
