I heard that a bunch of people will be moving to my floor at 2600. That will be a crunch. Trying to figure out if it is to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible for many years since they are going floor by floor in 2 year cycle. Anyone know why they are doing this. Sort of seems like RTO 5 days is not going to be happening since they can’t seat everyone

CPG is a complete failure of an org. Every single time they "upgrade" something, it gets worse, and they spend a stupifying amount of money on this cr-p. They chase 'hot trends' with the worst kind of sheep mentality and totally but into architect/designer gobblygook. Every time they show pictures of fake employees using these spaces you seem young healthy people sitting in these odd chair circles and cr-p, but when you actually go to a WF site no one is actually using that garbage. The over priced cr-p just sits there unused and everyone just sits head down in their miserable soulless cube waiting for the day to end and not really collaborating in any meaningful way. I "returned" to office over 3 years ago now. Haven't had a meaningful conversation in person that entire time. Not once. My team is distributed due to the customer base, so all actual collaboration is via phone, teams, and email. Buildings are a complete waste of time and money, and cpg does not give a flying F how people work. They just want to move along like sheep, waste a lot of money, and justify their own existence in a world where Hudson Yards plans to eliminate most domestic buildings.
I forgot about the courtyard being dug up. I am waiting for the parking in the front to be “remodeled” then you have to squeeze into fewer parking spaces. I am cracking up thinking about all the people parking across the street and walking over. In the grand scheme of all this cost cutting i am seriously wondering why they would spend this kind of money for a non customer facing building. Personally i think they are going to “modify: the space so that there are no walls hence compacting more capacity into the same space because the goal is to get everyone back to the office 5 days and they can’t manage that capacity with the design now so they have to remodel
I went to where I’m supposed to sit during the remodel and there are few lockers available and plenty of people already there.
F it. If I can’t find space during this BS I’ll just go home or grab a cube anywhere I can find one.
Soon to be another CPG fuuckup.
Yeah that building compared to building's D & E are is old, the other buildings have the newer desks and breakrooms. Not that any of that matters to the sane individual who just wants to do their job. You'd think that with the crunching they'd tell people to work from home in the meantime, that'd be the smart thing instead of making people wander floors for a seat.
I was wondering if somebody was going to post this. Not only are they doing a "remodel", they're replacing all the cement in the courtyard.
The floors are already to the 2020 standard-- why are they remodeling when things seem like they're generally ok.
They'll be plenty of room to seat everyone. If not, they'll just downsize people until we do "fit". That's now HY thinks.
given the campus is 20 years old it's about time they do some remodeling.
The plan is to remodel floor by floor starting at the top (4th floor). Yes, we'll be smooshed along the way but at the end we'll have a big, beautiful space that bleeds collaboration... er I mean screams collaboration.
LBH, if someone is thinking that a new fancy chair is going to make me want to come into the office every day, they did not read the room correctly.
Goal is to run you into ground with frustration and curry smell. Enjoy.
