Agreed. Which is why some office space is good.

That may be true for small companies - although equally they could all just go to the same shared space. For large companies though, this is not true. A company with 1000 employees could do a poll to understand what's the max office space they might need at any one time and add a buffer on top. Alternatively, they could have policies whereby team A and B shows up on Mondays, team C and E shows up on Tuesdays etc.
