I understand how you feel. Playing musical desks is a big pet peeve of mine. Being shuffled around because it is "more optimal", or whatever usually makes me feel like the person doing the rearranging is on a power trip, exerting the minimal amount of power they do have. Divvying up seating arrangements based on worthiness is another level of this. It reminds me of a teacher I had in high school. He went to Columbia Law and was an attorney for a few years before becoming a teacher. I asked him why he left law and he told me a story about one day a senior partner coming into his office to count the ceiling tiles. When my teach asked why he was counting the ceiling tiles the senior partner explained that they were going to reallocate offices so that those who worked the most hours got the biggest offices. My teacher said that was when he knew it was time to do something else.
