Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

To the people that sit alone in a conference room all day

I hope you stub your toe when you wake up in the morning.

Why are you special? Why do you think you can take up a whole room to yourself to sit and watch Netflix all day? We get notes saying to go to conference rooms and not have meetings at our desk yet every room is taken by a single person all day every day.

If people who needed an office actually had one, they wouldn’t book a private conference room.

Just go on in and sit down in the conference room and introduce yourself and start working. I left my office to go to a mtg with my laptop and was only gone an hour and someone took my space although my coat, brief, papers and coffee cup were there. When I came back to the room the guy asked me if I would take the rest of my stuff with me to find a new seat. You can't make this cr*p up pup.

I have severe gastrointestinal issues. Conference room is my safe fl-tulence space.

The core problem is not enough seats in general. However the system is allowing a ‘single person’ to reserve a 14+ seat conference room , so a team with an actual conference CAN’T reserve the room , since it shows unavailable.

Why don’t you quit complaining and reserve a room like everyone else. That’s why we have a reservation system. Sorry you feel so important that you should have a room ready and waiting for you just because you apparently think you’re so special.

I book my rooms weeks in advance in order to secure the space. The last thing I want is to be forced to share space.

apparently OP doesn't need a meeting room bad enough to book it. just to complain about it.

some people work on sensitive topics that cant be broadcast to everyone within earshot in an open office.

To the people leaving items behind at drop on spaces: your s H 1 t is going to be tossed out when I get to the desk first in the morning.

Book the conference room then? If I have a training and I can’t concentrate at my desk, and the conference room is open, I’m booking it. Sorry

Bravo, conference room guy. Make the RTO as ridiculous as possible. The more conflict you cause, the better.

“ I challenge anyone to try to throw me out of my conference room workspace.”

BS! If I so chose, I’d (easily) toss you (and 10 like you) out like a sack of potatoes.

Why are you posting here instead of challenging them on it directly?

If it's the same person every day send an email to CRE, as well as their Boss.

You've got to do something about it, otherwise you're just enabling it.

I see multiple people in conference rooms, not just one person. If there is more than one chair in the room, it's available for sitting.

I'm playing by their rules! I challenge anyone to try to throw me out of my conference room workspace. Get here earlier, you too can have your own conference room workspace!

No one is sitting in a conference room by themselves all day. Just accept you're trained circus monkey who does what it's told at all times
