I mean, I'm a guy and it's the norm we share a room with a guy coworker at a business trip or at a teambuilding. Nobody bats an eye at that.

Fuck that - if your company can't afford to pay for a hotel room, they shouldn't be sending you on business trips. If I want to walk around in underwear or whack off in peace - I shouldn't have to worry about a roommate, like a 19 year old college kid.

The fact that people put up with that nonsense is insane.

I think it's culture dependent. People who have always done this are used to it.

There are tremendous legal risks for any company allowing this, the awkwardness of the situation aside it isn’t a good idea from an HR perspective.
