I felt ill just looking at the office plan in the lead picture (your keyboard slots in between two monitors facing the other way...).
Are there places in SV with open offices that dense?
- lukejduncan 8y agoAgreed. The pic looks more like a university resource center / library / computer lab.
- chasedehan 8y agoThis has to be some data entry type position - old Dell monitors and every seat taken.
- gowld 8y agoMany of them are wearing red-ribboned lanyards, have water bottles (and no other drinks), and all visible monitors are running the same IRC-looking app, so it's probably some sort of training/class at a conference or a college programming contest. The photo is a stock photo.

- hinkley 8y agoUsually the HVAC system can’t handle this many bodies. Also, OSHA has rules about the ratio of bathrooms to humans of either gender are available and I’m pretty sure some of these employers are way over the limit. Good argument for reducing density or at least increasing gender equality in your open office plan.
