This argument never made sense. How is open office cheaper than WFH? Answer, it's not.
It's just the cheaper option that also allows you to retain your illusion of control.
- sswezey 7y agoIt’s not being compared to WFH. It’s being compared to employees having private offices. You’re making a straw man argument.
- AndrewKemendo 7y agoIntentionally in order to point out that such an argument is a false dilemma. There are more options than [private office, open office]
- ashtonkem 7y agoThe jump from one office type to another is far less extreme than going from an in-person office to WFH. In the absence of strong external motivators, minor changes will be more preferred due to inertia effects.
