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?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 65 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's "productive" musical chairs designed by assholes.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Assholes that have their own offices.

No, we all know what’s going on in there. Knuckle deep.

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Awesome. That doesnt sound awful at all!

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

AKA hybrid seating

[–] echodot 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

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
