    That really does sound awful. Someone probably complained about not getting a window seat,

    Everyday you have to re-set up your work space, in a new spot and all. Even its just “log in” to the computer, you still have to adjust the display and chair to your preference. They’re probably loosing 15 min of labor per person everyday for everyone to unpack their stuff and adjust to their “new work environment”, not to mention the time spent finding any one.

    I would do reassignment anually. If you like your spot, great you keep your spot. If you want to move, your spot is added to the pool. Seniority gets first pick. Any moves mid-year must have a valid reason such as medical needs, personnel issues, or a job change, or it’s just a vacant lot and you asked nicely.

        Everyone sits different and will need to adjust the chair for an ergonomic seating position. Beside that, everyone has to pack their environment into a bag everyday? So no office decorations, physical calendar or sticky notes and whatever else people bring and can normally leave in their office space to make it a “home base” for their work.

        If people are logging in to pick an assigned seat (which should be considered part of the work day), instead of actual work, that’s a waste of everyone’s time.
