A theme here seems to be that open offices work if and only if there's still concretely defined places for noise and for silence.
If everyone's desk is in the "bullpen",
1. the bullpen needs to be a quiet place
2. you need to have social/discussion spaces quarantined from the bullpen so as to not distract everyone all day.
The issues all seem to come from places where the entire workspace is a bullpen, with social, group work, and individual work happening in the same environment.
