I am a recent graduate and have just begun working in a "shared workspace". I have no problem with it all. I don't need trinkets and baubles crowding my desk. By having a communal space everything is always clean and I can come and go easily without being bothered. I am definitely a fan of the shared workspace!
ReplyDeleteI admit, the lack of a stable desk space doesn't resonate with me at all. My team is now spread out, sometimes on different floors, and I am now doing a lot less "management by walking around". Get togethers now seem much more formal (they have to be planned to get a space to meet). The spontaneity has died and our team morale is suffering. They miss the camradering of sitting together and bouncing ideas off one another. I know that we can still do it through IM, but it's not the same as face-to-face.
