Flex seating

It’s awesome that the company spent all this money on renovating the buildings and creating the open floor plan seating just to find out the day of your meeting. You can’t use the office that you booked weeks ago because it has now become somebody’s personal office.

What is the actual point of all of this if they’re just going to change all of the Zirbel offices to individual offices? They should’ve just kept all the conference rooms and let these mo--n stay hidden in their office. This has been such a headache, such a pain, and honestly has created the lowest morale that I’ve seen in a company in my 35 years of working in the corporate environment.

It’s so unreasonable and so disrespectful to treat associates this way when we need a space for an urgent call, we do what we’re supposed to do in reserve it weeks ahead just to have it snatched from us.

Open/ flex seating is terrible - extremely distracting when you hear people talking and typing and walking around - all within 3-5 feet of you trying to do your work with people not at your worksite. Th
ey should rename it as 'cost-saving seating plan'

I love flex seating and open floor plan. It drives collaboration in our fast paced customer centric world class organization.

On the bright side, flex seating helps save money on real estate costs. That means 5 days in office is a thing of the past...

True story....a few months ago I saw two guys get in a heated argument about a desk and I actually thought they were going to come to blows. The shared seating is such a bad idea and not one person I know likes it. BOA doesn't care one bit about their employees, it's all because it's less costly then assigned cubicles. BOA lies to us constantly telling us it's about collaboration but that's a big fat lie. I walk around the floor and everyone has there ear buds in and begging for privacy. The two guys I saw were about to collaborate with their fists. BOA better watch out because there are a lot of angry people out there.

Flex seating is the worst idea they ever cooked up. People squatting at desks, leaving crumbs and garbage behind, no privacy at all, it's just ridiculous.

This is a website for people that wish their problem was finding a conference room to have their 2pm huddle.
