New headline:
"Some people find open-plan offices really really uncomfortable. Why are you doing that to your employees?"
Here's my answer to that headline question, by the way: because the perceived savings on rent exceed the perceived loss of productivity.
Whether that perception is true is quite arguable, and the article provides evidence for increased costs in loss of productivity. I assure you, unhappy employees are less productive.
- lainga 9y agoI agree with your second point, but you would need to change the substantive content of the article as well. As written, it currently presents both issue and cause as sexism, finishing with (in the last paragraph) "Perhaps it’s no coincidence that all the designers of the workspace were men".
