One disturbing event where I am is there are plans afoot to remodel the developer floors to remove the upper cubicle storage areas. Not quite a open floor plan but it removes what privacy developers do have. It had been done in a support areas because of managers who wanted to "check on who was where" and such.
unless an open office plan includes the management all it does is further enforce the power structure in place. first people offices to cubicles, but that became acceptable because you still had the walls to give you defined space, now that those go it is the last bastion where you can be isolated is lost.
- 52-6F-62 9y agoWe got kind of lucky at my office. Our floors missed the big sweep the last CEO was doing to make everything open office. They apparently hit some floors in this building and did a sort of halfway job with it to poor effect. I've been to another building where they finished and it's nice, but seems a little tense. Walking through there for meetings garners stares from everybody working in the area. I still have something like this, Herman Miller cube with an extra moveable privacy wall out of the way of main traffic. After this thread it's feeling like a bit of heaven. It has an additional cupboard and garment locker to my left and a rolling, padded stool, drawer set. Ample desk space and modular shelving units. I'm spoiled, apparently. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/06/32/b0/0632b0ce27c7d245fa6ca378ef325d20--office-cubicles-small-office.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/06/32/b0/0632b0ce27c7d245fa6ca378e...
