1. The role of the office desk
in modern workplaces

2. The pine or beech office desk is probably the
most popular yet most forgotten about piece
of office equipment.
Once it’s in, it’s in and they tend to last pretty
much forever, only being thrown out when
there’s a full office re-fit taking place or the
decorators manage to totally destroy one
when fitting the new ceiling lights.

3. However, the desk plays an important part in the office, a part
maybe more steeped in politics than functionality as even the
cheapest ones do their job of keeping things off the floor
pretty well.

4. The operator desk
If you happen to sit in the office hierarchy as an ‘operator’ then
it’s fairly common you’ll have a pretty basic desk. Solid, square
with a divider between you and the next operator and if you’re
lucky, a pedestal of drawers underneath. Perfectly fine for the
role at hand, after all, you’ll just be typing at a computer most
of the day and shuffling paper around.
Concentrate on the seat here, that’s more important and a good
one that ensures good posture all day without slouching is
absolutely essential.

6. The office manager’s desk
Someone has to manage the operators and that’s usually the
bossy person sat in the corner of the office. Their desk will be
larger because, well, they have to sign all the bits of paper the
operators bring to them and they’ve probably got a second
monitor.
Also, they’ll have an extra corner bit so they can have meetings
with staff. You’ll also find they build a fortress around them
with other bits of desk equipment!

8. The director’s desk
The most impressive of all. During my early years of working I
was always impressed by the account director’s desk which
was totally black, almost always empty save for the one bit of
paper he was currently dealing with and it had a big square of
leather in the middle.
This impressed me because it was just like the one that
Lieutenant Marty Castillo had in Miami Vice!
The director must show his status and so these desks are usually
very big, made from a hardwood and nearly always very tidy.
