Initially I thought this as well but upon reading it's somewhat irrelevant.
Desks are now like parking spots: first come, first served. When you log in, you get your own VM, not your own PC. So the placement and configuration may well be innovative in some way, but it would be a separate concept. You lose the ability to be special at all (prefer a trackball or ergonomic keyboard? Grossed out by that grey crap on someone else's--wait, your--mouse? Too bad, sucka!)
Digital nomads... but none of their digitals are nomadic. :)
What I found noteworthy is the lack of laptops. Nobody works from home?
- gist 10y agoI am inclined to not look for the zebras here. No photo offered by UBS, nothing they can get easily from a getty images (a clip photo) so hey it's not like they are going to use any leverage they have and demand it. "Photo or we don't run the story". As always this article was floated by someone for PR purposes. And a UBS employee is quoted. So it's not like they couldn't have said "ok we will print but send us a photo to make it more interesting". And the photo is of UBS offices in Zurich to boot. Lazy. Back in the day when we were featured in a news story I actually took the time to setup the scene (in advance) for the photographer that was sent over from the local big city paper. As a result he was able to get a great shot and the article was syndicated in 20 newspapers across the country. Was well worth the effort. Even had a ladder for him so he could get the shot from the top easily.
- satysin 10y agoYeah it is just a VDI setup. I just wondered what the overall look and feel was. Is it little clusters of desks or a giant open plan nightmare?
