this may lead to shortage of space for other employees, which may lead to overcrowding and discomfort for employees who do not have reserved seats.

The new open office unassigned seats plan was poorly managed starting from the beginning in 2019. Many had assigned seats in unassigned areas. For initial RTO at the end of 2021 they made sure teams that worked together were assigned different areas across the floor …. Supposedly for pand**** protocols but they had people walking through so many other teams they’d otherwise never interface with to collaborate. Spread it around. The Bank has been using any means possible to reduce their headcount while all departments are understaffed.
Honestly, they don’t care and they’re not going to make the changed needed to ensure that this doesn’t stop happening. It was a cost savings opportunity for them. There are supposedly on-site leads to manage this but where are they? Doing the same thing. Echo chamber of bad behavior.
Don't move their stuff, work with it there. If you reserved it, let them know they can move their stuff while you are at lunch or break 😉
The open floor plan is miserable and so d-mb. People basically reserve their seat via leaving personal items on the desks and chairs anyways.. so that basically leaves those of us who follow the rules with the cr-p seating every single time while the “reserved” seats stay vacant all day. It’s frustrating that it’s an open floor plan, but 70% of the desks have been “claimed”. But you can’t move their junk because you get dirty looks from hags that sit there and pop bubble gum all day.
