Hot desking is a good way to kill your company

The dumbest management fad ever

The management fad of hot-desking is a damn fine way to destroy your company according to Forbes contributor Simon Constable.

For those who are not with the latest dumb management trends, hot-desking has been around for decades, but no one has really taken it seriously. It is a working arrangement where employees have no assigned desk. Each morning you get a workstation based on that old standby, first-come-first-served. If you show up at 5:30 a.m. then you'll have your pick. Later than 9 am, then probably you'll get what's left.

The theory behind this idea is that it provides companies with increased flexibility in managing office space.

However, like most dumb management novelties, the drawbacks vastly outweigh any benefits but managers are too stupid to work it out yet.

"If you hate your company, its employees and the shareholders then go ahead and introduce the latest management fad: Hot-desking. It's a better way to destroy the firm than inviting Russian hackers to rob you blind”, Constable wrote.
