Flex workspaces predate WFH as a trend. It originated among salespeople and other departments where employees are not actually “in” most of the time - someone figured out they could cut on office costs by reducing “wasted” space. Similarly to open-space modes, hotdesks were then extended to a lot of other places where they didn’t belong, and here we are. I know of entire buildings where people are effectively forced to get to the office horribly early just to ensure they have a decent desk close to their colleagues.

It makes sense for those. Doesn't make sense for me, who does 40 hours / week preferably in the office.
