My company started construction to make it a more collaborative workspace prior to Covid. They took advantage of the empty building to accelerate construction. There are still wings of the building closed off due to ongoing construction. The result is that my department has 24 desks for 60 people. They have split us so one third will go on Tuesdays, a third on Wednesdays, and a third on Thursdays. Upper management also goes in on Mondays in addition to their group’s assigned day.
Our desks are in two groups of four and two groups of eight with a couple of tables for collaboration stuck in the middle. We are surrounded by similar arrangements for other departments in an open space. Desks are not assigned. We have to reserve a desk up to a week in advance on an app . Covid aside, I would still hate this.
I have let my supervisor know about my concerns and have a meeting scheduled with our HR rep to discuss options. I will ask about an air purifier. Given the shared office space, I will need to carry it in and out every day.
I have been putting off getting my second booster hoping for an updated version at some point, but will get it if I go in. While we have risk factors, neither of us are immune compromised to the point of qualifying for evushield.
Thank you for the suggestions.
