We want to own less real estate but we need desks for our people and they said they like working at home, so... One week in the office, one from home! No personalized working space!

Why are you leaving?

Hotdesking is cool. Love coming into an office each day with really clean, sparse work environments, like everything was sold to keep creditors at bay. Makes for a welcoming, reassuring workspace when everything is ephemeral and ever-shifting. Who didn't love that feeling back in school when you were in the caf and had to try and find a spot to sit, desperately hoping you could find someone you knew and feeling eyes on you the whole time?

I could see it being practical in a setting where people are working from home almost all the time but might need to pop into the office occasionally. Like, throughout the pandemic, the company I work for has had 3-5 people in an office space that can fit almost 100, with everyone else at home. They'd probably be better off moving to a way smaller space with a few real desks for people who need to be there all the time, and then a handful of open desks for people who randomly need to come in for whatever reason.

I work in an IT department that is probably moving to hot desking, but it's more that half of us will still be working from home with a couple of people in the office each week on a rotating shift. We still have our own machines we log into but we have thinclients on each desk that let us log in from wherever. So we don't really need our own desks, though we'll probably still have individual file cabinets or whatever to store junk in.

I used to work surveillance in a casino and that was hot desked by necessity. You're not going to have a 3 CRT setup and PTZ controller for every individual operator, so you'd take over a desk from someone on the previous shift, warm chair and all.

Some of those chairs must have had an rear end in them almost constantly for years.

In the twitter thread there's a shot of a party with a swimming pool that really confounded me when they go down several floors and the camera turns to the left while still descending, which I couldn't figure out how they do it without a drone or remote control. I went on wikipedia and discovered the camera is attached to someone on the chest and they are basically carrying this guy around and attaching him to cables when necessary. just the logistics in all the scenes drive me insane
