Here's how open offices came about.
The CFO made a spreadsheet, and the "open office" column was a nickel less than the alternatives.
- CyberFonic 6y agoIt's far more than a nickel difference. Any useful private office is about 100 sq ft. In an open office you can do with about 20 sq ft per person. So you cram the workers into bull pens and the managers can have acres of offices with windows and still save money on mid-city rents.
