This term reflects modern workplace culture in Brazil and the US, especially prevalent post-COVID-19 with increased hybrid and remote work arrangements. In Brazilian corporate environments, particularly in tech hubs like São Paulo, the English terms 'hot-desk' and 'desk' are often mixed with Portuguese. The concept is less traditional in Portugal, where permanent desk assignments remain more common in formal work settings.
