“ There is a hallway drop in available.”
There’s also a few choice spots out by the dumpster.
People are focusing in those rooms to get the job done. Please do not disturb. They are innovating bringing new technologies to T. Think about the latest satelitę communication, quantum computing, AI. Thanks to these individuals T is the most advanced telecommunication company in the world.
I have created a script to mess with these people. It automatically reserves random times in the focus rooms, and can do so after the typical 3-month limit. DM for code.
I can’t even find an empty seat in the bathroom.
You should get mad and start a physical altercation. Stand your ground and demand the room.
I will watch.

I need to focus on my work, I book focus rooms a.month at a time, so I don't have to listen to you talking about little Johnny's birthday party.
A shame you are so quick to judge without researching:
“A focus room should be for a call when you need it not to hog it all day every day for the next 90 days straight Dallas is full of these entitled pieces of you know what”
OP is a very low IQ person.
Wrong, there are no rules for focus rooms, they are designated as drop in spaces and are first come first serve.””
Actually THIS IS WRONG, Not the OP.
Focus rooms are intended for one a day <= 4 hour times needed for ‘focus’.

- Wrong, there are no rules for focus rooms, they are designated as drop in spaces and are first come first serve.
- Notice how people stay in there all day? Notice how everyone does it? That’s because you’re wrong. There’s no way in he-l anyone is giving up a ln enclosed office so someone else can go in there all day while they now have no place to sit. You are extremely low IQ. Go ask Stankey why you can’t have an office.
There is a hallway drop in available.
You are not the arbiter of focus room use, sorry. I will use them as I see fit, for as long as I'm forced in. Just the way it's going to be so I suggest that you adapt.
Problem is that too many people are showing up in the office and not enough space. Stay home and wfh if this is an inconvenience. RTO is not for week ones.
Focus rooms aren't in the reservation system they are first come first served
“You're just the opposite side of the same coin - hogging the space instead of using it for its intended purpose. You're just choosing to line up instead of using the reservation system.”
Wrong, focus rooms are literally designated as drop in’s. First come first serve. Again, KMA.
Where I’m at we have tech mahindra booking conference rooms all day every day just so their people have places to sit. Meanwhile we have FTEs with no where to sit.
Perhaps you should plan ahead and reserve them. That’s why we have a reservation system.
Just sit out in the open and do your callas loud AF until floor planning fixes all the BS around here
How about entire conference rooms booked every day for the next couple months for teams to sit in leaving teams who want to be fair and just boon as needed for a meeting unable to find a place to meet
Psssst!
(nobody cares)
- OR, better yet -
man up and say something?
You’re seriously getting mad at the wrong people.
At least you get a chair in there
Focus rooms are drop ins. First come first serve. You can KMA.
You're just the opposite side of the same coin - hogging the space instead of using it for its intended purpose. You're just choosing to line up instead of using the reservation system.
But I still wouldn't blame you. Misappropriation of focus rooms is merely the side effect of a much bigger underlying issue: there are few, if any places in the office, where one can work in peace and quiet. Some companies (like Google) understand that need and provide it to their employees. Others (like AT&T) either don't understand, or they are intentionally consolidating to create a high stress environment - a known quiet cutting tactic.
I would lean towards the latter.
Reporting for outliers is coming.

Keep your stapler
What are you doing about it?
Because you threw away their stuff holding their drop in space
