While I'm leaning to open-office and willing to keep this article in mind for future office set up, some part of the article reminds me how you can use same event to derive a complete opposite conclusion. "Open office is a clear message to employees that they are just cogs in the system". And here I am thinking that cubicle set up is such a message. "Open office is like a flat". What? I feel cubicle is exactly like a flat. I like the survey and factual parts of the article. It would go better without the latter opinionated assertion parts.
