History of Coworking Spaces?'

The history of coworking spaces can be traced back to the early 1990s, when a number of independent spaces began to emerge in cities around the world. These spaces were often founded by freelancers and entrepreneurs who were looking for a more affordable and flexible alternative to traditional office space.

In 1995, Bernard DeKoven, an American game designer, coined the term "coworking" to describe a new way of working that involved people from different backgrounds working together in a shared space. DeKoven believed that coworking could help to create a more collaborative and innovative work environment.

The first official coworking space was opened in San Francisco in 2005 by Brad Neuberg. Neuberg's space, called Spiral Muse, was a small, shared office space that was designed to be a home away from home for freelancers and entrepreneurs.

The coworking movement quickly gained popularity in the years that followed. By 2010, there were over 1,000 coworking spaces in operation around the world. Today, there are over 20,000 coworking spaces in operation, and the number is expected to continue to grow in the years to come.

Coworking spaces offer a number of benefits to their members, including:

Affordable and flexible office space

A collaborative and supportive work environment

Access to amenities and resources, such as printers, copiers, and meeting rooms

The opportunity to network with other professionals

A sense of community

Coworking spaces have become a popular alternative to traditional office space for a variety of people, including freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, and remote workers. Coworking spaces offer a unique and flexible work environment that can help people to be more productive and successful.

Here are some of the factors that have contributed to the growth of the coworking movement:

The rise of the internet and cloud computing has made it possible for people to work from anywhere.

The increasing number of freelancers and entrepreneurs has created a demand for affordable and flexible office space.

The growing popularity of remote work has made it more difficult for people to find a traditional office space.

The desire for a more collaborative and supportive work environment has led people to seek out coworking spaces.

The coworking movement is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way people work. Coworking spaces offer a unique and flexible work environment that can help people to be more productive and successful. As the demand for coworking spaces continues to grow, it is likely that the coworking movement will continue to evolve and grow in the years to come.

I used to have a desk in the university staff room at work. During Lockdown someone helped themselves to my two china mugs. People insisted they must be somewhere and that I’d find them. I never did. At the end of last academic year we were asked to clear our desks for renovations to make the office bigger. To accommodate new staff. When we returned there were be no personal desks. We…

I'm thinking of those Amazon Hub locations where you can pick up a package somewhere else if you're worried about porch pirates. Today I'll go hot-desk at the hub on 7th Street. Tomorrow I might go hot-desk at the hub on Poplar Avenue. And so on. Which... WTH? Who would find that fun? It'd have to be someone highly extroverted and who prefers to work like a nomad. Personally I would find it maddening. Why would I pack my stuff in a backpack and flit around to office hubs when I could have just worked from my home office?

Hi, I’ve a bit of a situation at work. I just joined my new department in December, and I found out that we’re hotdesking. Meaning desks are first come first served. We have two groups A & B, within the department. I’m in A. When I first came in I picked a desk to sit at that didn’t have any personal belongings on it. So I sat there for the rest of December. There’s this colleague from B who was nice to me for the first few weeks. And she mentioned that she used to sit at the desk I was at. I didn’t think anything of it cos she made it sound like a casual comment. And then in the first week of January, I came to work and found that that usual table had been taken over by her. Terribly messy. I didn’t make a big deal and sat at another desk. Then the next day when I got to sit at the desk she came over and was really paggro about her things being there (I didn’t touch them) and her having sat there before. I didn’t want to start a fight in the office so I nicely told her I didn’t touch her things while saying that I’m aware we’re hotdesking. She walked off. Over the next week it was tense and she was really cold and ignorant towards me. Then last week, she took over that desk the whole week. I had nowhere to sit but I just took my things and moved to a table far away from my colleagues. She kept walking past my desk on purpose that week. Ultimately, my question is…how do I navigate this if she picks on me in the office again? It’s kinda affecting my mindset when I go into work, and work is already stressful. I also don’t want to be seated away from my colleagues because it affects rapport building and discussions. I’m new, I can’t be seated away from them. One solution is getting to office really early to secure the desk but I hate making this a competition because it’s not! I don’t want to start my day like this fighting with some colleague who thinks she can bully me because I’m new and she’s higher up the pecking order. Would really appreciate your advice, please. :(

its a desk.

Pick another one.

"#also what kind of work place doesn't have assigned desks??????" Mine no longer does! Since most people work from home at least some of the week now, we were told all desks would be hotdesking and we could no longer have assigned desks, though everyone mostly agrees to just... respect where folks Usually Sit. (I work in the office 5 days a week and put my foot down about it ngl.) But even prepandemic, hotdesking is not uncommon in a lot of UK offices. (And when I worked in a call centre it was 100% the norm, we never got a desk.) Sorry I just saw your tag and was like OH I CAN EXPLAIN THIS

oh that's interesting! I've never seen or even heard of that before. I guess in theory it makes sense if you're not bringing a lot of odds and ends into the office....

(looks at my current cubical, which is covered in mail, notes, flowers, photos, moisturizer, packs of gum, and my last week's workload of folders)

but. my STUFF. how do I work without my STUFF.
