It’s “productive” musical chairs designed by assholes.

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.

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.

AKA hybrid seating

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

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
