My own personal opinion. It was hard to get things done with those particular managers off-site. If there was an issue my team would meet for 5 mins and just talk it through and have a solution fast. If we ever needed to grab one of those "1-day-a-month" mangers, they never responded to emails or calls quickly and their calendar showed them in a meeting pretty much from 8-5pm so you'd have to book a meeting out 3-4 days in advance. It got annoying fast.

It's not that I don't think they are working, but rather I just couldn't get a 5 min convo with them easily.


Now the issue is lack of seating in the office because so many have been remote for 2-4 years.

At my office it seems to be an issue as far as 'reserving' a spot which is what you have to do in order to go in. It seems to be a hassle to reserve the spot and now people are reserving spots and not showing up I guess as an email was just sent out about it.

Same system being proposed. A sort of prelim system has been place for a few months.

Was an issue because some folks would book the office for the entire month as soon as the block became open, and then come and go as they please. Nobody else was able to use it unfortunately.

My company has a reserve-your-desk system and after one or two attempts, it's become very simple to do. Granted, there are a lot more desks than people coming in so it's never an issue getting a desk/spot. Additionally, each team or business area has a general area of the building where they're essentially assigned. Since my team all comes in on the same day, we generally all book the same desks.
