Indeed. My employer had hot desking for a while during lockdown for people who chose to voluntarily come into the office so they could space people out. I tried it solo, I tried it booking a pod as a small team of 4-8, and I hated it. If they tried to make it permanent (they're not, they've moved back to assigned desks), I would quit in a heartbeat. Working in a random area from a laptop is an ergonomic nightmare. I want a specific keyboard, specific mouse, and specific monitors. I don't want a tiny laptop screen plugged into a dock with the same generic Dell equipment that comes with every machine, and I don't want to have to lug in my own equipment every single time I come to the office. It's also nice to have a spot that's "mine" for the most minimal of personal touches - I can leave my headphones there, I can have post it notes on the monitor reminding me of things, I could even have a picture if I wanted.
