The worst of all worlds. You still have to come in so you can't move far enough away take advantage of cheaper locales but now you have to work in uncomfortable spaces bench seating if you are really unlucky designed to remind you, that you are college.
Or take the permanent desk and remote into all meetings anyways.
- Hermitian909 3y agoData point: My company has this setup and it's my favorite out of all options. I actually do want to go in the office 1-4 times a month + 2 full weeks at the middle and end of the year. People being nearby means that when we think in person is important we actually get to coordinate it. I don't have "benches" or anything, there's literally a full dusk with multiple monitors and a nice chair any time I want it (more or less), the office is not meaningfully less comfy than pre-pandemic for me. I will admit that I value "cheaper locales" less because my family is here and nowhere else but this is not true for many of my current and former coworkers and many of them love the setup as well.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoYou misunderstood “sharing desks”. You get a normal desk, but have assigned days to the desk, and you share a monitor setup. Then everyone keeps their keyboard/mice in a locked drawer etc. if you aren’t coming in 4 days, there will be a different employee using that desk and chair the days you aren’t there.
