> It's borderline accepted in some cases
Sharing a freaking bed as an adult? Top-and-tail with a random colleague who may be in a relationship? What if they put you in a bed with someone you know has a crush on you? Or who has hygiene issues? Or who snores? No it absolutely isn’t accepted at work, unless France is completely different for professional and personal standards to the rest of the developed world. No functional HR organisation would accept the risk. Where would they stand if the other person touched you in the night and claimed they were asleep?
- retrac 4y agoIt's a familiar practice to me, and my buddies in construction and trades here in Canada complain about it sometimes, particularly the oil industry. Four guys and two double beds in the motel. Dormitory-style accommodation are common too, typically 6 - 8 men and bunk beds and a shared bathroom and living space. Such assignments are usually short though, a few weeks. People expect a private room or an apartment, for longer than that, and they're usually hauled in, in the form of trailers or similar.
