4 types of coworker you can find at Aticco

Alexa Romero / 25 Sep 2018 / 4 min

It is not unusual to find very different person profiles in most places and occasions. There are many times when we attend a meeting and see people who are completely different from each other. Coworker or work colleague, but in this case, the work ecosystem itself allows you to meet professionally different coworkers.

That also happens in all companies. Each person is a world and your co-workers (and you, of course) were not going to be less. Imagine what that fruit salad of personalities in a coworking space can be like!

If you work at Aticco, you will understand what we are talking about. You don't need to know everyone on your floor or in your building, just see them daily and notice their habits.

There's always someone glued to the coffee machine, someone who's in meetings all the time via Skype in our #SkypeBooth, someone who you can't get off the terrace... Sound familiar?

We are going to talk to you about four types of coworker that you can find in Aticco. Four groups of people that are very generic, but each one has its particularities, that which makes them special.

The digital nomad coworker

This type of coworker is never still. The word nomad says it all: they go from one place to another without settling down anywhere permanently.

We are also talking about Aticco's most ephemeral profile, because since they don't stay permanently in our coworking Barcelona, we only see them every now and then (or only for a specific time). But knowing that they are succeeding wherever they go gratifies us a lot.

A digital nomad might show up any Monday at our coworking space, and the following week they're already on their way to another country. But one thing's for sure: they always take the Aticco spirit with them wherever they go!

The startups

Often, this type of person  chooses a coworking space as their workplace. Why do they prefer to develop their projects in an environment like Aticco?

The work environment created in coworking spaces is very different from any other place. Here you have the opportunity to learn from other people who, whether different from you or not, always have some new lesson to offer.

This greatly enriches the community, and we encourage collaboration and teamwork. We love welcoming small startups and seeing how they evolve little by little within the walls of our spaces.

The skyper

Skyper, business... well, that person who spends the day doing meetings via Skype. Of course, take advantage of our #SkypeBooth to do it in isolation and quietly.

What is gained from an online meeting? A lot of things. This type of coworker can close deals, develop new projects, contact people from all over the world... many possibilities at a professional level, all through Skype!

You'll recognize them by their laptop or tablet, always on the go. And if you're looking for a person with these characteristics, you can't miss them: head to one of our Skype rooms to find them.

The freelance coworker

We recognize it. Being a freelancer is cool and it is one of the types of coworker that we like the most at Aticco.

A freelancer is someone who gives their all in their work, but also takes advantage of any minute to meet new people and establish relationships, whether professional or personal. We consider them a free spirit, and that's great.

This type of person sees coffee breaks as an opportunity to strike up conversations with other coworkers. Why are they naturally so outgoing and friendly? Perhaps that's the main reason why we love freelancers.

Which group do you belong to? If you belong to a group of coworkers that we have not named, we want to know about it! And if you are not yet part of our community, we want to meet you!
