i agree that they should do that. OTOH space isn't cheap. i recall a scrappy startup where 20 people were packed inside a live-work loft. the CEO's office was the master bathroom.
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoNot every start-up could afford it, sure. But by the time you are well-capitalized, it’s not an excuse, and as Stack Overflow has shown, it’s not that hard to afford even in Manhattan. When young start-ups are spending millions on the company’s third wave coffee station and opulent roof deck for obligatory alcohol drenched happy hours, you know it’s not cost keeping them from prioritizing ergonomy-focused private & quiet work space.
