Everything is wonderful, right up to the moment the "system" determines you have no value. You can run, but you cannot hide. In a perfect world, I love the idea.

Right. This thing is a control freak's dream. Notice that "about 2,500 Deloitte workers share 1,000 desks." Are there disfavored employees wandering around in a futile search for a free desk? If you leave your desk, is that sensed and it immediately becomes available for someone else?

Coming soon, the Smart Sweatshop™.

Deloitte is a consulting/accounting firm. On any particular day a large number (probably 60%: 1500/2500) of those 2500 workers are probably at a client location.
