[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand the space issue.

Way back Charles Schwab in the late 90s rolled out 9/80s. worked your 80 hours over 9 days and got every tenth day over. The tenth day off was spread evenly hence freeing up 10 percent more office space.

One company even did 10 hour work days spread hour freeing up 20 percent office space and employees got one day off each week.

Or do hoteling, hot desks, get rid of offices, cubes move to long tables, shift work.

My last in-person company the floor was designed in 1980s with big private offices, large cubes, lots of conferences rooms, large lobby area. It sat 350. We got rid off all but one conference room, got rid of nearly every office, got rid of cubes and went bullpen style. At the peak we had 800 people in that space for 350 no problem.     [/quote]

Hoteling and hot desks implies that people are in the office part time.  That won't work here if everyone is in all of the time.  The 4 days/week is also prohibited in many offices, just based on preferences (plus I doubt our new OPM overlords will be content with that kind of arrangment).  They want us in the office 5 days/week.  Shifts don't generally work for most government work.  Everyone is supposed to be there during the same core hours.[/quote]

Our director (not DIA another agency) mentioned shift work as a possibility, meaning true shift work, which means crazy hours (1st shift 6am to 2pm, 2nd shift 3pm to 11am). DIA employees did this during COVID.[/quote]
