I once quit a big tech company triggered by a desk move.
All of the social disruption described here is true. I also felt an environmental gentrification: my “secret” window spot, where the data engineers were stuffed into, being hijacked by “more important” salespeople… I still remember the feeling when they walked over and surveyed my land, smiling in delight of their new gains.
All of this is to say: people belong to spaces, too.
