What’s the worst work space you have had at client site? For me - 3 people in a 4ft x 8ft closet off of a break room with no windows.

Ugh 😑 it should read “data closet” in the first comment. TGIF 🤦🏼‍♀️

8 people in a 6 ft by 12 feet space. You can smell what everyone had for lunch and whether they showered the night before

At my last company, had a client sit us at a Formica table 2 feet from a single toilet bathroom. You could set your watch based on some of the client people.

In the basement in a tiny room with a card table and metal chair. It was next to the mourge. If you smelled strong cinnamon it meant they had a really bad death.

Sub-basement with incredibly random built-in desks. No windows and the door often jammed shut - had to full-body shove it to get open at times

I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
