Open offices are gross.

Flexible workspaces where nobody has a fixed desk gets reinvented every five-ten years by some manager coaches that charges way too much for lectures and yet there has been exactly zero employees that want to start their every single regular day in the office looking for a vacant anonymous desk a good distance from the microwave, with a working chair and nobody annoying next to them.

Plus you're stuck using your stupid laptop keyboard unless you want to lug a keyboard and mouse around. It's really sucky for people who have carpal tunnel and need special mice and keyboards.

At my job every desk has a docking station with 1 or 2 monitors, a keyboard and a mouse. I actually quite like it. We've also got a "quiet office" to get work done and a "loud office" to take calls and stuff. I feel it's a good solution for companies our size (30-ish people that work from home half of the time).

Are they mechanical keyboards, with recessed key wells, and ergonomic mice? If not, it still sucks for people with RSI.

If you have rsi, please read this: https://medium.com/@Anne_K/the-power-of-psychology-my-chronic-pain-recovery-story-74574449b5ce It may help you. It's my story of how I got rid of my rsi and it's worked for people I know as well.
