I agree. The problem is when you have an eight person team and a five person team, etc. You start to lose a lot of space when there is a mismatch. 20 years ago

20 years ago I used to be in a 20 person group, multiple teams but not everyone. I think I would have preferred 12 (there were a couple of those). But managers had glass wall private offices.
- pfranz 8y agoYep. I interviewed at a place with 3 tech leads were all in the same room. One had given notice and I figured I'd be his replacement. When I showed up on day one I found that they had hired an additional person who started the week before. So the three of them were in one office and I was next door. After awhile when I mentioned being left out of important decisions they offered to have all of us move into the hallway...which would have sucked for everybody.

I started my career 20 years ago as a junior sysadmin in the networking closet (seriously, my boss helped me pull a desk in there). I would take that over an open office plan any day.
