    When we were called back into the office, at first we didn’t have assigned seats and had to reserve them in advance. It became a ritual to log in every morning and immediately jump to the reservation system to grab the same seat for two weeks hence.

    One of my coworkers was grumbling jokingly that I took “her” seat one day (of course, someone else had taken “mine”, so that’s what prompted it). I told her, “It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.” She laughed. The whole situation sucked, and we were all just trying to make the best of it.

        That really does sound awful. Someone probably complained about not getting a window seat,

        Everyday you have to re-set up your work space, in a new spot and all. Even its just “log in” to the computer, you still have to adjust the display and chair to your preference. They’re probably loosing 15 min of labor per person everyday for everyone to unpack their stuff and adjust to their “new work environment”, not to mention the time spent finding any one.

        I would do reassignment anually. If you like your spot, great you keep your spot. If you want to move, your spot is added to the pool. Seniority gets first pick. Any moves mid-year must have a valid reason such as medical needs, personnel issues, or a job change, or it’s just a vacant lot and you asked nicely.

    One of my neighbors has a disabled parent that baby sits for them. I get so fucking annoyed when they’ve managed to park in “my” disabled parking spot if I go out for an errand. It’s stupid, and I feel like an asshole for feeling annoyed. There are two disabled spots for my building (roughly 48 units), and I would rather push my walker across the whole complex than park in the other spot, because it “belongs” to another neighbor who has less mobility than I do. We don’t have assigned parking and I kinda hate it lol

      even if you don’t have assigned parking, you have two residents who always use those spots, leaving none for guests. management should convert another spot without question, especially if they’re not even assigned spots. reach out.
