WTF is hotdesking? Worse than open office plan?

SD1 it’s when you’re not assigned a seat and you have lockers

It fucking sucks. Totally wrecked the culture in our office. You literally can’t sit with your team anymore (since everyone naturally arrives at different times) so we’ve lost the camaraderie we had. Makes a big difference.

@AS1 - would you expect any less from places with people who peaked in high school?

@SAD2, ha, no I guess not.
