I know it's not popular, but darn is it practical.
Think of future layoffs, how much easier it will be and Ford does't have to pay for boxes.
Layoffs may not even be necessary with hoteling, all you really have to do is take desks away, or bring in more H1B's to fill the office. Can't find a place to work and think you're heading home, think twice!
It's better for health, remember, hoteling is part of the post-covid protocol because it's more sanitary to use a stranger's desk every day.
Increased "collaboration" - that's why management wanted RTO to begin with!
Space optimization - consolidation of buildings - think about it, if everyone fits in the new WHQ with hoteling, everyone will be so happy as they've assured us there's ample parking.
Benefits all around.
