I am sitting at a Google desk and there are 5/6 people not here in the desks in my vicinity. I would prefer fewer desks and to actually get to sit next to people rather than being scattered among a sea of mostly empty desks due to people WFH.
- dietr1ch 4y agoI agree, but I think that the way of achieving that is quite dumb. Id rather enforce something around. The first 1-2 floors in some specific buildings on every campus will turn into shared spaces instead of forcing everyone out of their desks. Decisions seem so poorly though recently that the only way I can make sense of many is thinking that they are trying to get people to quit to avoid paying for severances and taking another morale and press hit at announcing layoffs.
- CydeWeys 4y agoSame, but, they shouldn't be taking away the desks of me of my coworker, as we're in using them five days per week. We come to the office because we find that we're much less productive at home in our shared Manhattan apartments.
- srj 4y agoI agree, I come in 5 days a week and not having a dedicated space would make that experience much worse. I wouldn't rejoin the Cloud PA with this policy in place, and I imagine plenty of people will leave when the tech industry turns around again.
- closeparen 4y agoI am sitting in a sparsely populated open plan and it’s nice because it nearly fixes the noise/overstimulation problems as well as walls would.
