If you are considering hotdesking you don’t care about developer productivity. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/09/07/a-field-guide-to-developers-2/ https:/

  Not everyone hates hotdesking. Not everyone likes hotdesking. Why not give your employees the option and leave it at that?

    Because hotdesking doesn't affect only the person moving. It affects everyone that person moves away from, and everyone that person moves toward. If everybody cares, then as you note, not everyone agrees that it's good. If few or no people care, then why hotdesk? Either way, someone has to set the policy. Even at Valve, with no structure, someone has to say "we hotdesk, it's our culture". Someone has to sell the haters on it (or tell them to take a hike). And even if only one person hotdesks, depending on that person, that could still be enough to leave an impact.

  You could have made the same point without getting personal or ascribing malice, couldn’t you?
