I am a full time remote worker, but I have survived the tyranny of an open office in the past. I dislike the open office format. A lot of the time companies don't "choose" an open office, it chooses them. If you are working at a small or mid-sized company, building out rented office space you will probably outgrow in a year or two is a crappy investment. The alternative? Buy the desks, throw them into a room, expect people to be quiet and respectful.
