Fucking dream for an office. I just got a table a notebook stand and a monitor. I have to carry the keyboard and mouse with me everywhere.
Shit most places do the “open office” thing where you get a third of this space and less privacy. Everyone can hear everyone’s calls.
And people wonder why employees hate RTO
Eh, I like our open office workspace. Our desks are large, we each get drawers, and if anyone needs to make a call, they go to a breakout room. Navigating cubicles sucks, and separate offices aren't great either.
That said, I'm a developer, so inviting someone over to my desk to look at something is quite common. We also frequently have impromptu 5-min meetings between rows, and we arrange people so those who will likely need those quick meetings are near each other.
It certainly wouldn't make sense for a call center or something, but it definitely makes sense for a creative, collaborative environment.
And ironically IIRC, this was the vision of the creator of the concept that managers then perverted into the infamous cubicle: a modular and open collaborative environment.
I mean this is a cubicle not an office, but they don’t even give you a designated desk?
Nope. You have to reserve a table and try to coordinate with your coworkers to reserve close. I like go to the office so people already knows the table I usually reserve, but sometimes someone else take out that table and I end in a different floor where the sun reflects on the neighbor building and blast my face all day.
Wow, that's awful. We have an open office design, and everyone has an assigned desk. We even have a few spares for our remote employees when they visit.
You got a notebook stand?!
