Return to the office? Where’s my desk then?

I have the option of WFH completely but there are tasks that are easier for me to do in the office. So three months ago I updated my status to hybrid, which is supposed to trigger the process to get a cubicle set up for me. I emailed my department admin to help move it along and let them know what cube I wanted. I have sent reminders once a month since then. Crickets. Why? The company laid off the office administrator who handled all the space requirements for my department and that work apparently hasn't been reassigned. My general impression is that the company, like most, wants people to come into the office at least sometimes. I'd be happy with a hot desk, but none of those have ergonomic setups or sit-stand desks. I mean, do they really want me there? It doesn't seem like it.
