IMO, that's because managers favor butts-in-seats and the idea that they can "see you working".
IME the only people who actually like open plan offices are managers, extroverts, and flakes, most of whom irritate non-managers, introverts, and non-flakes.
- closeparen 7y agoThe managers I’m referring to don’t need to see you working. They want you to see you collaborating and socializing with the team in person, but are fine with you doing your actual coding at home and rarely if ever touching your desk. The office is open plan but usually pretty empty, as everyone is either in conference rooms or at home.
- oblio 7y ago1. I'm an extrovert and I don't like open plan offices. I'm not a manager and I'm probably not a flake, I'd say :p 2. Your tone is super condescending, regarding the extrovert - introvert bit.
