it's hilarious how the idea of open concept office is "to encourage cooperation and stuff" when in reality all that happens is that it drives people to get noise cancelling headphones so they don't hear Garry chewing gum as noisily as humanly possible, or all the "hmmmm Mmmhhmmhhh" sounds he makes while eating lunch at his desk. (Seriously, Garry, you're not making love to it.)
Or Chatty Kathy on the phone gossiping about this or that.
People are weird. the world was a better place when we didn't realize how weird.
It also hinders cooperation ime. I still go to my coworkers desks to talk because I’m not going to speak over a few people’s heads to discuss something. It’s just that now I can’t have privacy when discussing things. Which I’m convinced is the actual reason for them. Boss can see how much you’re chatting with people and can see when you’re talking unions
Mostly, it started with small startups and then big corpos thinking “hey they were successful! And their team looks happy!”
So they emulate it. The thing is something that works for groups of 5 doesn’t work so well for more than that.
Also, yeah. There’s probably somebody in the corporate decision tree that realizes it’d increase opportunities for middle management to suck the soul out their minions, but usually the people pushing it are just stupid, and trying to be “hip” and “cool”, and all “how do you do, fellow kids?!”-ish cuz they read about it in a Forbes magazine.
That’s fair, I mostly just associate it with Japanese business practices, where to my knowledge it’s an equalization and community thing. You see the big boss sitting there next to everyone same as everyone else in the same uniform and eating the same meals. The problem is, that in Japan they have experience with being considerate of others in shared spaces, and round here in the states we’re atrocious at it.
corporate accounts payable, nina speaking.. just a moment
Sounds like a bad case of the Mondays
Did ya get that memo, Bob?
Ya, I got all 12 of them.
