Having been on a team moved out of single offices, and being able to look at our ship schedule pre and post, I would agree with that it was, at least for us, the secret sauce. (or perhaps more accurately, the people we lost due to losing our offices were a component of that secret sauce) I almost wish I had never had an office in hindsight, because when I was just crammed into open spaces out of uni I took it in stride, but once I had an office years back I refused to go back to open spaces, the QOL hit was just too significant. It's really a constant wonder for me how the powers that be at various bigCo's have managed to sell this disaster. I have to think it's money, but every higher up I've probed seems to drink the koolaid on the surface ("collaberation! teamwork!")
