If you were offered a

job that paid pretty well but it was in a basement of an office building would you want to work there? Some people would be able to handle absolutely no sunlight. For me, I think it would bother me. What do you guys think?

Re: If you were offered a

I use to work in a setting exactly like this. Wasn't ideal but I got use to it.
But they were good about taking breaks whenever needed. So I would head up to the main lobby or walk around the parking lot a few times a day.

Re: If you were offered a

I wouldn't be able to do it, I'd be miserable.

Re: If you were offered a

Wouldn't bother me. The area I sit at work has no windows so very often I do not see the light of day when I decide to work out of the office.

Taking breaks to go outside does help. We all should do that anyways if we can!

At my job I worked in the basement for a little over 2 years. They just moved us into an out building but I still only have 1 tiny window up here that doesn't open.

Re: If you were offered a

my office currently has a window, but my office when i first started was on the inside so i pretty much never saw daylight unless i went to lunch. i don't think it would bother me.

Re: If you were offered a

I don't think I could do it. I need light from somewhere!

Re: If you were offered a

If the pay was good, absolutely!

Re: If you were offered a

Definitely! Before we moved locations, our office was on the lower level and had no windows. Don't get me wrong, it's much nicer with windows and natural light but it's not a necessity.

Re: If you were offered a

I worked for three yrs in an office w/ no windows (within a school building) so yes I could do it.

Im a teacher and iI have always worked on the third floor with lots of sunlight. Last month I had to move my classroom to an empty classroom in the basement because they are redoing my classroom..I am miserable in the basement. It's a much bigger room but I hate not having windows and sunlight!! I go up for lunch and dread going back down..lol but I am 8 months pregnant so that could be it too

I worked in radio for a while and most studios that I've been in are windowless. Never thought about it before but it didn't bother me.

Re: If you were offered a

Yes I have done it & now I work in a hospital setting that is windowless. I don't see the daylight from 7:30 to 4 pm.

Re: If you were offered a

if the pay is that tempting, do it. and decorate your office/cubicle/work area with great, huge photos of landscape, sunshine, or beaches!

and of course, take breaks and get some of the real stuff when you can.

Re: If you were offered a

No way ! I feel so down with out sunlight and windows. I think it would affect my job performance.

Re: If you were offered a

No worse than working inside the mall

Re: If you were offered a

Yes, I think I'd be fine.

Re: If you were offered a

I work in the middle of my building, and during the shortest days of the winter, I can go a few days without ever seeing the sun.... so working in a basement wouldn't bother me at all.

It makes me think of that movie Joe v. the Volcano
