My department is moving from Grant to Ross in the next month or two. We have been told it will be “hotel” style seating- there are not enough desks for every person in the department, and no one will be assigned a personal desk. Essentially first come, first served. Someone brought up the issue of insufficient seating in a town hall meeting yesterday and the Chief Administrative Officer, Alejandro Perez, stated that there are “alternative seating options” like couches and conference rooms lol. So if you get there and there is no desk available (each has 2 monitors, a mouse, and keyboard) then you are out of luck and can sit on a couch or in a conference room on your laptop for the day.

So they learned absolutely nothing about good health practices from the pandemic...

And learned nothing from experience. They had the “hot desking” on the renovated floors at Grant Street and from what I understand from a few people it was very much hated.

Absolutely nothing. Sharing desks, keyboards, mouses …. I will be investing in lots of Clorox wipes!
