Is hot desking the worst new management trend out there? Yes! With our RTO mandate, our managers decided we were going hotdesk. Which was a major cluster mess in the beginning, and it wouldn't be uncommon for some people to come into the office to find the desk they booked was taken by someone else. Now, everyone has pretty much selected the desk they want and just reserves the same desks each day. Which ticks off the managers, so they are trying to roll out new rules to keep us from doing this

Consultants have been doing this for years. You know it’s bad when you are assigned a file cabinet on wheels.

That’s hilarious! But kind of handy. My office does a version of hot desking, I wonder if I could get them to invest in one of these filing cabinets.

I’ve seen this too. People reserve the same desk every day and they think it’s theirs including keeping personal items on the desk.

The only ways to counter that behavior are to enforce a clean desk policy (someone walks around each night and confiscates anything on the desk) or program the reservation system to not allow employees to reserve a seat at the same desk within that week.

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
