This is cultural specific imo. In grad school I took a class in Tokyo where the Japanese instructor told us that the power seat was the one furthest from the door. Lowest level is always the closest. Idea being: if enemies rushed the room, the least important people would be first line of defense / first to fall in combat. Dictates seating arrangements in the office, at restaurants, in cars, etc. It鈥檚 a cultural muscle memory thing, much like how a traditional western handshake was originally meant to be sign of trust that neither party is armed / did not have their weapons unholstered or unsheathed.

The most important decision you'll make all week is where you sit at your Monday morning meeting. Choose wisely

Had my first experience at Othership in Williamsburg and really, really liked it. Felt special.

Felt very LA... wondering why they haven't expanded to the west coast yet? I think they'd kill it, unless there is competitor offering a similar product etc etc.
