[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people think not enough space? I worked on Park Ave in Midtown years ago and rent is extremely expensive. We had a beautiful building right by St. Pats. There was zero WFH.

To fit us in the rules were if you had and office or a cube you had to check in at the Kiosk in lobby by 10am or your workstation would be listed as available for others.

Only very senior people had private office and even they had to give them up if our on vacation etc.

Mangers/Sr. Manager we had two per office.

Staff we removed cubes and put long work stations, each staff had maybe 48 inch of space. In Hallway we had lockers like a HS and we had file drawers. The staff sitting in those long workstations if they had coats, briefcase, umbrella etc they could lock them in there.

We easily fitted 2 to 3 times the amount of people per square foot than our Long Island and New Jersey location. Those two locations first was lower rent, second we had 30 year leases. Park Ave was expensive.

The junior staff sat in something called a Bullpen. We had like 20-30 in a room, And we would rent an auditorium for meetings nearby, had very few conference rooms no cafe, gym or big lobby. It was dedicated to seats. Even got rid of mail room and print shop as used Kinkos on a contract. And we outsourced tech support. Basically got rid of things that if in house needed seats that were low value.

We had around 900 people per floor on Park Ave and out on Long Island or New Jersey was around 300 people per floor.

Your point is it was planned and organized, but that's not the case with many companies and today.[/quote]
