Jax Flexible seating- it’s happening again!

So I was previously located in another area of campus in a flexible seating space. Over a short period of time all of the flexible seating became assigned seating and neighborhood pods. Of course those neighborhood pods and assigned seats were the preferred seat seating near windows, quiet spaces, etc. and the only options left were in the noisy busy parts of the floor..

Our group just moved to building 600 pod C and it’s happening again.. seriously don’t understand the purpose of flexible seating if teams are going to start going through the process of making assigned seats. It’s so obnoxious to get stuck with the creepiest seating options just because I’m an individual contributor and not in the position to throw a trantrum to secure the preferred seats. So here I am once again being faced with having to sit next to the door where everyone enters and exits all day long. This whole thing is so obnoxious and ridiculous… even comical to some degree.

They need to make a decision one way or another either it’s flexible seating and you go wherever you want first come first serve, or they assign seats.

And if it’s not an assigned seat, then anything left on the desk at the end of the night should be thrown away by the cleaning team.

They are assigning seats so that they can visibly see who is not in the office. The draconian management will do anything to ensure you are being as unproductive while in the office as possible. GIS in Addison Campus does this and there are a few self-appointed "hall monitors" who will rat out people for not being there.

That su*ks to be near a busy area, where people are constantly clomping by (especially while loudly and with fake laughs, yakyakyaking with their coworkers at the same time) right in front of where you're seated.

I got stuck in a similar spot once.
And the main door wasn't a soft-close one, either. It slammed shut and banged open.
Worst thing was, I could hear all of the flushing going on, because the restrooms were situated just outside of the main entry door to where my desk was located.

All day: SLAM!...SLAM!..BANG!YAKYAKYAK!..FLUSH!..FLUSH!..YAKYAKYAK!BANG!..SLAM!..FLUSH!..SLAM! SLAM!

Fortunately, it was just a temp. position, and within 2 months I was reassigned to a totally different company with a much quieter work area (and higher pay)!
