RE: Hot Desk

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Has been tried in many companies. It makes both company loyalty and productivity drop, makes project teamwork more difficult, and generally annoys the quiet types who do most of the work. They tried it in one of the companies I worked at, and all the old hands just went home again for want of a place to work. That put a stop to it really quickly.

It is hip, though, much like Scrum, even though nobody has been able to explain to me how you set up a proper software architecture using it. It does make you stand in meetings though, that must be a very fundamental thing. It is the umpteenth "method" I've seen pass by over the years on its way to the dustbin.

Sorry about that. Not funny at all, but I feel much better now.

Haha, I agree entirely with what you are saying. Every bit. It's already proving to be a disaster as I am not the only one that is insisting on keeping their desk (unofficially of course)

They keep trying lots of things and productivity is the last thing they are achieving
