You come into the office expecting a productive, collaborative day. Meetings are scheduled. Work needs to move forward. But you are presented with an immediate challenge: finding a place to sit.

You walk the floor looking for an open desk. The spaces that support focused work are already taken. You choose a temporary spot, aware you may need to move again.
