mesa fixa

2. A stationary desk that cannot be moved or adjusted, as opposed to a flexible or hot-desking arrangement
The company replaced fixed desks with hot-desking to improve space utilization.
A empresa substituiu mesas fixas por espaços compartilhados para melhorar a utilização do espaço.
In Brazil, the concept of fixed desks is increasingly being replaced by hot-desking arrangements in modern tech companies and startups, particularly in São Paulo. Traditional corporate offices still maintain fixed desk assignments as a status symbol and sign of seniority. The shift toward flexible workspaces reflects broader changes in workplace culture influenced by remote work and collaborative office design trends.
