I’m a head of department. As a team we have been talking for months about wanting to rearrange our office room (only my team use this room, it’s not a shared room with another department) but never get a day where we have time to do it. I run an in-house PR team. WIBU to just put the phones on do not disturb tomorrow and then me and team can finally rearrange the room? We have our work emails on our phones so we would see any urgent enquiries on our emails on our phones. Rearranging the room will involve moving all the tables and unplugging and moving the computers too probably. The only way I’ll ever get time to do it is if I make the time like this, we’ll never get a day quiet enough to do it I don’t think as we have been trying for months
AIBU?
To think sod it and do this in work tomorrow

Chaos. I wouldn't like it. I'd rather plan it for another day, preferably Friday, out for drinks after!

I think it sounds a bit haphazard and last minute. Also a big waste of time actually moving desks round to see if they like it. Can't they try it on paper etc and then let IT know what the final design is?

Our IT Dept would be peeved if someone decided to change their office around and expect someone to come and sort out all the equipment with no prior notice.

Yes I would have to call IT down first thing in the morning as soon as I get in

Depends if you need IT support to move floor boxes and other technical stuff?

You'll need to check with IT before you unplug anything as the config on your wall/floor ports might not be standardised.
If you're going to use the same floor ports then knock yourself out.

Would your team want a bit of notice? I'd not want to come in wearing my best outfit and find out we were rearranging the office on the day!

Will your IT team need notice?

Does your department involve press office?
