      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.

          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!).

          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.

      Yeah I thought we called it hot desking. Or even better the “sit wherever there is space” policy
