I work for (although am not employed by, my employers have a contract with this firm) a fairly large,well-known company.
Because of the role I do (kind of, but not quite management), I don't have a permanent desk. None of the managers do. However for the last 2 years, there have always been fewer people than desks, so space hasn't been a problem.
As of the end of this week, due to recruitment, that will cease to be the case and there will be no spare desks at all. There will be a couple of spaces every day because of holidays and sickness, but as there are 8 of us without desks it's unlikely there will be enough spares.
So I have nowhere to sit. The managers don't really need desks because they have laptops and blackberrys, but will take them anyway. I can't be given a laptop because I work for an external company. But I won't have a desk either.
I have flagged it with everyone I can, and the response is a laissez faire something will get sorted out, which it clearly won't. I'm not exactly enjoying my job at present, this desk nonsense feels like the final straw. I just really resent, with 20 years experience in my field, going round desk by desk asking I I can sit there like bloody Tiny Tim or something!!

AIBU?
to think that a desk, chair and working computer isn't expecting too much?!
