<p>Management .. like most things in the workplace is an exercise in selfishness not competence. They use these office arrangements to cut costs and look progressive.. why? So they look good. Nothing wrong with that in business sense of course... as lomg as they are smart enough to actually think through consequences that are not obvious.</p>

<p>Some of the hot desk solutions IMO look better than the open plan mess I have worked in in the distant past. </p> -

<p>I'm not saying it's for everyone. But I think if your management decides it is for you, but your argument is about post it's, files, folders etc, then mgmt view is that these things shouldn't be required for your role.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The majority of the world is resistant to change, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen.</p>

<p>Read above my response to Hooroo. It wont work for my role, and as idiotic as my management can be they know this something that wouldn't work in practice. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not in the least resistant to change - when it's justified and will help improve the situation. Change for change's sake and change that would make work more difficult is simply silly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>* Don't get hung up on the post it notes, the main files and folders (and posters) are policy, procedures, accreditation documents/frameworks, legislation etc, not to mention my two giant monitors (that the fisheads wouldn't pony up for hot desks on any given sunday, too many accountants. ;))</p> -

<p>In finance, for the situation I was talking about (Not hot desks) we saw greater accuracy and deadline maintenance (Brought forward and met with) The other team in the other situation remained static for want of a better term.</p> -

<p>I'd be quite happy with an Inactivity Based Workspace. Something with a TV and a fridge full of decent food and drink would be nice.</p>

<p>Funny you should mention that, because I've got an Inactivity Based Workspace. This is where I do all the fuck-all in my <strike>workplace</strike> house. I sometimes have to work for several hours at a time on Call of Duty.</p> -

<p>That's a funny metaphor for porn</p> -
<p>Offices are awesome, because i spend every morning watching the olympics on the net, not working. try doing that in your shared zone.</p>
