Not only does hot-desking make workers feel under-valued and disrespected, but it also reduces productivity. Every morning, at a new desk, I have to reset the positions of my various windows. And sometimes the mouse has a different sensitivity and I have to fix that, too.
Like the one I've got today. I've got the mouse tracking speed maxed out, and it still feels sluggish. WTF?

As we prepare to move from #DMIdk's university style offices to a new open plan office (with #hotdesking 😒) later this year, @TimHarford's podcast on how (not to) #design an office + associated concepts like #power + the ability to influence your own space seems very relevant.

Would love to hear from scientists or other academics who currently work in large #openPlan offices with #hotdesking (+ only 70% of the desk space needed means lockers + absolutely no items left on desk overnight).
How do you make it work? The combination of focused work, close collaboration with some colleagues and lots of online meetings with externals?
What do I need to do now to prepare?
(Also open to job offers...)
Regards: a depressed scientist who has just seen the future #office.
