The open office floor plan: rethinking an awful idea https://www.computerworld.com/article/3646089/the-open-office-floor-plan-re-thinking-an-awful-idea.html by @sjvn
The only thing shared in open offices are viruses, not ideas
@sjvn Open offices were implemented for cost savings. Everything else is just marketing.
@sjvn I could not agree more. My place moved from time height barriers between cubes to wide open "prairie" - just miles of flat tables with places to plug in. Just killed productivity. Loud, distracting, unbearable.
@sjvn time was autocarroted from "tiny". Oops!
@Sheree Argh! I am so sorry!
@sjvn
Japanese offices are even worse, not only is almost everything "open", everyone's sitting pretty much shoulder-to-shoulder.
