@gr36 who would have thought it indeed. It’s interesting these areas where people do all sorts of things to try to make a crazy idea work rather than just make minor changes to the existing norm. Ego, it’s ego isn’t it.
@gr36 Open offices are anathema to actual productivity. The only people promoting them are executives who aren’t beholden to working in them.
@JMaxB @gregmoore Oh man! We had exactly am the same sort of thing at the corporate offices I worked at in the early 2000s. It got further stratified with cubicle dividers that went all the way to the ceiling (but some had clear panels at the top), and then some that had actual doors while others didn’t.
@Jmaxb @petebrown Isn’t it sad how we feel the need to stratify ourselves for no real reason other than pure ego? I once worked in a place where the leadership, who were only present a few times a month, got full offices with large windows while their assistants, who were present every day, sat in the hall at half-desks. This wasn’t some inherited fluke of architecture either, the whole place had been gutted and rebuilt to those specifications on purpose. I left as quickly as I could.
