The term hot desking is a slang term that refers to the practice of assigning office-based employees limited and random desk space instead of providing each employee with a permanent desk
Ah you guys dont have this yet? It makes the office even more horrible, because now you dont even have a fixed seat. You have to find somewhere free to sit. :)
Every morning starts with messing around with monitors, adapters, cables, chair settings trying to find a comfortable setting, monitor placement to not get ceiling light reflecting into your eyes…
Also unless you are early, you will get one of the worst seats, so…
And if you were enjoying sitting next to some person, forget it. No more fixed relationships. Random colleagues every day next to you.
Yeah its just amazing in general. The modern office.
And if you’re a 24/7 workplace then you’re either standing there like an jackass while the shift before you finishes up and hates you the entire time, or hating the jackass standing over you while you’re trying to finish up
“Google or Spotify or whatever does it, so are we”
In truth I believe it’s to push teams having one person wfh per day, while others sit wherever. This way, you can save seats, therefore rent, while allowing “wfh” and being an “authentic spearheading company onwards to building the future of humanity’s tomorrow.”
They’re run by people who are so wealthy that their primary reason for not simply retiring is that they can use their position to coerce sex from their employees. It’s hard to coerce sex from someone if they’re working remote.
Today I learned the term “hot desking”. I’m certain Marx would have hated it for us.
Just looked it up and I loathe it.

Jeez, that sounds absolutely horrible. What’s the mental gymnastics of the managers this time that they try to justify all of this?
“Fostering inter teams relations”

What the fuck is wrong with employers‽
