Step out to where exactly? Generally it's not just you in your own office, everyone else is too.

- abawany 9y agoI think I misunderstood your original comment 'Or they don't want to feel like I'm [0] locked in a room alone for absolutely no reason.'. I took it to mean that cubicles/offices cause loneliness. I now see that what you were saying is that the reason people are stuffed in the bullpen is the 'concern' that you outlined.
- rayiner 9y agoStep out and walk around? Where I work, we have private offices, but people have self segregated into a chatty end of the hallway, and "Siberia."
- rpeden 9y agoMaybe a hub-and-spoke type of setup like Bell Labs had? Cal Newport wrote a bit about it in Deep Work [1] and I think it sounds like a potential way to get the best of both worlds.
