Pretty important, although now that’s going out the window at my company.

I think it’s important, don’t get me wrong. But in practice it’s a lot like college was, to me. You don’t have an assigned seat, but you still sit in the same spot everyday...

I will say that it has removed a whole bunch of personality from our office though, which I don’t think is something the powers that be truly considered as important 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not very important provided each desk has a comparable setup and the supply of Clorox wipes holds out.

I'm reaching my breaking point here...it's like they're forcing us to put up passive aggressive signs so you hope people get the point to not sit at your desk. not feeling valued as an employee, just one of the many on this account who gets lumped together.
