I fucking hate "minimalism" in office spaces.

It's just an excuse for your company to deny you privacy and space at work in the name of "aesthetics". Holy fuck, I would rather be stuck in a cubicle all day than have to share my desk with 2-5 other people who can all see and hear what I'm doing. Why can't we just have normal offices spaces and actually take the effort to build more space instead of just cramming everyone in together like sardines?

Next thing you know, they're going to come up with "minimalist restaurants" where we all share the same table or "minimalist housing" where the walls between apartments are removed.

We have an "open-desk environment", anyone is allowed to sit anywhere in theory. This means that you are not allowed to leave ANYTHING on "your" desk when you leave.

In practice no one ever changes seating place, now we just have to follow the rule of not leaving anything behind. real fucking stupid. means I cant leave documents, office supplies nothing.

Software jobs are save from this. All sales/account managers/hr/other assorted drones at my company use laptops with a docking station to work with computer screens on a desk. They have no personal desk. Devs, DBAs, network guys and technical support all need beefier pcs which can't be moved as easily, and thus have personal desks. Shit is cash.

If your company is smart they will continue to let you work from home. At least part time. There is a lot of money to be saved by cutting down on office space cost and many companies are realising this now. Slow, boomer led companies will refuse and put up a fight though.

Here is to hoping they do. I work at a start up/scale up and they have embraced wfh completely. Half the staff have barely set a foot in the office since they were hired this year

I work in the finance department of a large IT firm, they are ((never)) going back to the regular arrangement as we've managed to saved tons on staff working from home.

Permanently for sure. We've cut the expenses by approx 80% for staffs.

These are costs for
- transportation, (flight, taxi hotel)
- food
- cleaning staff
- check in staff

not even accounted for electricity bill that we might save on. 95% of the building is empty, I would imagine not needing that 95% of the building in the near future.

It's is never going back.

I hate it because i have urinary incontinence so it's not uncommon for me to piss myself a bit. In a cubicle i can dry off/change trousers but now open offices mean i can't apply for a job.

> Everyone is complaining about having to stay home.

I would attribute that to the wagie cagie mindset for sure. They need a cage to stay disciplined and groomed.

In the future they will have that as a requirement for sure.

If you're currently looking for a job
get a good camera and a nice microphone, because the recruitment staff and HR are def going to look for remote workers in the future.

Well i want to go in to work, for me it's freedom and opportunity, the opportunity to meet people, do new things, see new places. But since weeing myself is a risk of going out anywhere for more than 10 minutes i'm severely restricted. If i had an office room with my own toilet it would work perfectly but i'm not trained or skilled so it's unlikely to happen.

I'm unemployed as a result. Had it for about 3 years, don't know what caused it but one day i was waiting for a bus and needed the toilet. Thought i could hold it for a while and wait but it came on hyper fast, within 2 minutes i just pissed myself in front of everyone. Super embarrassed. Since then i can rarely hold it and go at minimum every half hour. At home i don't bother putting on trousers anymore and just piss onto the floor. Just not compatible with office work,

Why not give every wagie a work bed and lots of pillows? It's a lot more comfy and the cost would probably be similar to buying all of those desks.

I have kitchen roll around and it's not like i'm pissing more all in all than normal people, it's just smaller amounts a lot more frequently, so it's not a tonne. Everyone cums on the floor so it didn't seem like a step up to piss as well and it's laminate flooring.

I'm so glad I work in arguably the most boomer subfield of the financial sector in a downtown office where 19/23 employees are white boomers and every employee that doesn't have their own enclosed office has a massive cubicle with high walls and plenty of space/privacy.

prior to when my work "upgraded" to work from home i had the comfiest cubicle. large, private, quiet, away from my boss and most coworkers. large desk with overhead storage. even had a nice private view of downtown. then with open office gave me major anxiety due to the feeling of always being watched and monitored. no privacy no peace.

The lockdowns were never about the virus. It is hardly different from a bad flu season. The lockdown are just another power grab by the elites using fear. There is no reason to go back to "normal" for them. Once the novelty of the pandemic has worn off again they will push a different fear but all the control mechanisms set in place by the pandemic stay in place. Likely the next big fear they will use for power grabs is home grown white right wing terrorism. No more bitcoins soon.
