I think that the open plan office trend is stupid. It is not good for productivity and it is not good for noise.
People collaborate less in open plan offices compared to traditional private offices. Yet open plan offices are promoted as strengthening cooperation.
- rpmisms 7y agoSmall offices with a few people, preferably with junior-senior pairing. I'm a junior in an office with a senior, and being near someone who knows our systems well is invaluable to me, and has helped me onboard much much faster.
- fyfy18 7y agoI don't even believe the argument of open offices being more space efficient is true. I work in a co-working space with an open office section (fortunately there is a written rule that you must be silent), and surrounded by offices that sit 3 - 6 people. The offices have the same density as the open section - they are just separated by glass walls and a door.
