You know the pain if you're one of those folks whose management once shook things up by taking away your desk and forcing you to scrounge for space in a "flexible workspace" area with weird lighting fixtures and oddly shaped furniture.

如果你曾经被管理层剥夺了固定办公桌，被迫在“灵活办公区”找一张桌子用，忍受诡异的灯具和奇形怪状的桌椅，你将会深知其苦。

Studies have shown that people forced to share workspaces reported feeling marginalised, experienced more distractions, negative relationships and uncooperative behaviour, not to mention feeling like their supervisors were being less supportive.

研究显示，被迫共享办公空间的人报告称感觉受排挤，更容易分心，人际关系不佳，难以和他人合作，且会觉得上司不待见自己。
