Workers who want to quit overwhelmingly say they're looking for a new job with more flexibility. Indeed, even among those who aren't considering changing jobs, half of people currently working remotely say if their current company doesn't continue to offer remote-work options long-term, they'll look for a job at a company that does.
You know all the people saying everyone wants to go back to the workplace? Apparently workers absolutely don't
Hot desking doesn't seem so bad if you have a reservation system so people can just stay home or go to a coffee shop if there's not gonna be any room.
Also, isn't 2+ monitors or 1 big 4k monitor per cube was pretty standard in offices these days?
That's not too bad if they're actual cubicals that can fit 3 chairs+1 standing and not just a big long row of desks with no privacy.
That's how we usually train people or do pair programming if they're physically in the office, 2 people, 1 screen+laptop each. It's a little more convenient than double screen sharing.
I always wanted my workplace to have the chaotic energy of the college library around finals, never adds unnecessary stress or prevents me from doing my job

Hot desking without the ability to work remotely is the dumbest shit I've ever heard of.
It's for people who are working from home 4/5 days a week, and occasionally come into the office if there's technical problems at home or they want to physically be with coworkers or in-person training or something.

Jesus that sounds bad.
What exactly were you doing that they thought that was acceptable?
People were ready to riot at my work when they tried to limit people to 2 monitors at work+2 monitors at home, while space might be expensive, desks and monitors are dirt cheap at that scale.
In the end, they had to settle on just not letting new people get more than 2 monitors, unless they really needed them.

double broke: hot desks
That isn't what id define as hotdesking tbh. Not to imply that there aren't issues with hotdesking.

fair enough, similar thing is starting to happen for me at work as well, but we've always been flexible about working from home so it's not a major change.
