It's just a clientco procedure, a daft one admittedly which probably earned some consultant a nice wedge.
I certainly don't see it as an IR35 indicator or anything worth getting excited about.

You're not there to worry about the state of your desk.

They are threatening to "evict" me from my desk (and turn it into a hot desk) if I don't comply. I only have a desk there to help them with a particular project. I have plenty of other work at other desks and offices I can be getting on with.

I operate a cold-desking policy. When one desk is covered with print outs, documents, plastic cups, sandwich wrappers etc., I just move onto the next.

Never leave anything on your desk anyway. Family photos, gonks etc. are for the client's staff to mark their territory.

just leave a bloody mess every day on your desk - collect you marks then ask if you get a prize for being the highest
