    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!).

          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.
