I take fat shits in the office

[–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You got a window and a cubicle? Damn.

I hate open office plans, whoever came up with those should burn in hell.

When I was told I needed to come in for meetings I started booking the conference room. After my third time, I was asked why I was booking it.
"If it's so important that I come in to the office to attend these meetings, clearly I need the privacy and collaboration space of the conference room for it, otherwise I could just take the calls at my home office, right?"
I now don't need to come in unless it's an "all hands" meeting.

That's bigger than any workspace I've ever had in my entire 20+ years of working. It has a window and drawers and some modicum of privacy? How did this office drone get so lucky as to avoid the last few decades of open plan double-hot-desked bullshit?

This is the only desk type ive ever seen lol

Plus they have a nice view of the Panera Bread dumpster.

Manager level office, easily

Today I learned the term "hot desking". I'm certain Marx would have hated it for us.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just looked it up and I loathe it.

For those wondering:

The term hot desking is a slang term that refers to the practice of assigning office-based employees limited and random desk space instead of providing each employee with a permanent desk

Ah you guys dont have this yet? It makes the office even more horrible, because now you dont even have a fixed seat. You have to find somewhere free to sit. :)

Every morning starts with messing around with monitors, adapters, cables, chair settings trying to find a comfortable setting, monitor placement to not get ceiling light reflecting into your eyes...

Also unless you are early, you will get one of the worst seats, so...

And if you were enjoying sitting next to some person, forget it. No more fixed relationships. Random colleagues every day next to you.

Yeah its just amazing in general. The modern office.

And if you're a 24/7 workplace then you're either standing there like an jackass while the shift before you finishes up and hates you the entire time, or hating the jackass standing over you while you're trying to finish up

[–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jeez, that sounds absolutely horrible. What's the mental gymnastics of the managers this time that they try to justify all of this?

[–] SoulKaribou@lemmy.ml 2 points 22 hours ago

"Fostering inter teams relations"

"Google or Spotify or whatever does it, so are we"

In truth I believe it's to push teams having one person wfh per day, while others sit wherever. This way, you can save seats, therefore rent, while allowing "wfh" and being an "authentic spearheading company onwards to building the future of humanity's tomorrow."

What the fuck is wrong with employers‽

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

They're run by people who are so wealthy that their primary reason for not simply retiring is that they can use their position to coerce sex from their employees. It's hard to coerce sex from someone if they're working remote.

Cubicles are long gone. Current offices offer far less desk space, and you're probably hot desking too

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 day ago

My workplace has hot desking, but that's caused by the fact most employees are working remotely now and they've reduced rented office space in half since COVID. Haven't been there in at least 2 years.

Agree, but I also have a weird office space kink

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I appreciate that my office is a glorified motor pool and printer house.

[–] scoutfdt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

I wish I had a cubicle

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

It's all just part of the torment nexus

Er sorry, I meant hustle grindset

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Holy shit, you got a window?!

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Ugh . With your back to the entrance. Gross
