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!

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.

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.

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

To be fair, if it’s my personal office space that I have to put up with 40-60 hours per week, you’re damn right I want it to feel homely. I’d have me some nice slippers under the desk, too.

Tangent, but I hate how the word “homely” in English means both:

  1. having a feeling of home; cozy and comfortable

And

  1. lacking in physical beauty or proportion

And then we have “homey”. It’s all so confusing.

Definition two seems to be an American addition. I don’t think it exists as a definition outside the US.

Mate if you’re even reaching 40 hours you’ve been there too long. If you’re racing 60 hours then it’s basically your home!

I do 40 hours a week. It’s average isn’t it?

Although yeah I admit it’s too long. But I used to do 60 houses a week and that’s unhealthy.

Obviously depends on your industry, but I thought 37.5 hours would be the standard (8 hour days with half an hour for lunch), and some of that is tea breaks etc. What were you doing that involved 60 hours a week? I hope you at least owned the company!

Heat being that person, but…

Why do people need to make up stories like this? The picture is cool enough as it is. No new guy did this after asking to decorate their desk. It makes the entire thing cringy.
