working at twitch... few of our desks had custom desks, just nice dual monitors or one ultrawide at every desk. now decorations/personalization i'll give you, we had those in spades... we don't currently have the density to hot desk but most people used default keyboards, or we had lockers to store your keyboard overnight to hotel when we though we were doing that.

so why is the lack of monitor personalization cursed, 90% of my coworkers seem great with those options and Iv'e seen a ton with just a laptop and to black monitors or one in use.

yeah lack of decorations, I got you... it's a we-work at that point.

I guess it mostly comes down to feelings. Maybe this metaphor can illustrate my feelings: living out of AirBnBs wouldn’t mean you would miss any specific amenities, but I would feel much less happy without the ability to relax in a place that feels “mine”. It’s something about routine and weaving a comforting self-narrative, I think.
