- pjc50 3y agoIs it? Of course, neither of us nor the company really has hard knowledge of what is "more efficient", because despite being entirely driven by profit metrics and A/B testing there is still no real way to measure productivity for knowledge workers. And even if there was, employee misery wouldn't be part of the metric unless it measurably affected retention.
- seanhunter 3y agoBut that in turn is less efficient than 0 desks for 15 people. Thinking about it, why stop there? Negative desking is the future. A team of 15 could have -15 desks (or less, if they are high performers). Super efficient.
- m_rpn 3y agoI hope that no CEO reads your comment otherwise all the guys that have mandatory RTO are screwed XD
- muzani 3y agoThe most common implementation for negative desking is having everyone working from home
- seanhunter 3y agoThat's just zerodesking. For negative desking the team has to turn their hotdesking area into a wework.
- cwilkes 3y agoI’m envisioning carnival barkers trying to get other teams to use up their -15 seats as if they don’t sell out they have to pay the company a rental fee.
- Gigachad 3y agoWorks if people aren’t coming in every day. We have set days where certain teams come in. You’ll be sitting next to the people you work with and the company doesn’t need as many desks
