I don't buy it. There's a company wide push to get people out of the offices and provide a business justification why you need an assigned desk. They want the office to be little more than large group in-person meetings that have catered lunches.

Why pay for expensive ergonomic desks and chairs when you can make your workers work from home and buy their own desks and chairs?
