I wish I could do this, or even leave something at my desk for the next day. But with agile seating I don't even get a cubicle to myself anymore! Awesome! So motivated to be productive!
Agile seating?
Wtf does that even mean? Yall just switch places everyday or something?
It's "productive" musical chairs designed by assholes.
Assholes that have their own offices.
You misspelled orifices
No, we all know what’s going on in there. Knuckle deep.
Awesome. That doesnt sound awful at all!
It’s how they are dealing with an employees being in the office for a couple days a week instead of every day.
Everyone shares desks so you don’t need to have 2/3 of the office empty every day just so everyone has their own place.
Can’t leave personal items since you can’t claim desks, since there wouldn’t be enough if everyone claimed them.
Worth it to not have to be there every day.
My partner has the best of both worlds - so called "agile" seating, and stern talks from HR if he works from home more than once a month or so (even if his direct manager is ok with it!).
Ugh, he has my sympathy. Really hate clueless management!
If the stern talks are logged, they’re probably doing it so they have an excuse not to give him a raise.
Lest we never forget: HR protects the employer, not the employee.
I think it’s how it’s done shows their intent. My brother lost his corner office and is now among the “normies” he’s not enthused about it, but helps when management is doing the same.
Also known as hoteling or hot seating, amongst other terms. Basically all cubicles are identical and you just sit at whichever is free that day.
AKA hybrid seating
Yeah I thought we called it hot desking. Or even better the "sit wherever there is space" policy
You need to show up every morning like those japanese street vendors that unpack a whole fucking restaurant out of a wheelbarrow
Lmao yep, waste like 10 minutes every day unpacking my whole office setup and dealing with the inevitable little issues with the provided dock and monitor
