>"It seems impossible to get one desk for a long enough period," one employee said. The person noted one day having to go between hot desks at Menlo Park on different floors to get through a work day in which they'd been required to come in for meetings.
So even when teams are co-located (which isn't a given), they aren't necessarily working face to face. This kind of flies in the face of the premise that RTO is needed for "collaboration". There's definitely another reason for RTO and it's not one the bosses are willing to state on the record.

Although, I'm not sure why the person would be losing their desk between meetings unless Meta had a policy for people to take their belongings with them if their going to be away from their desk for an extended period of time.
