Agile seating?

Wtf does that even mean? Yall just switch places everyday or something?

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

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

[-] i_dont_want_to 26 points 2 years ago

Assholes that have their own offices.

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

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Awesome. That doesnt sound awful at all!

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

AKA hybrid seating

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