Upvoting and quoting to emphasise this point. The alternative to open plan is not individual offices, it's team offices.
- jlengrand 7y agoI wasn't there to experience it first hand, but it seems like that's how it started as well. Extra collaboration in between teams, but small enough panel size in your direct surrounding. Were not meant to evolve constantly around 100s of people all day
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoSo... regular offices? Because that's how most office building have been organized outside of tech for decades.
- Jemm 7y agoIn one job we had large rooms where each team was housed. There were no closable doors so it felt open but gave us quiet so we could concentrate. That doorway was a psychological deterrent to people coming to socialize or ask stupid questions. It made them stop no briefly. The people who needed privacy due to sensitive nature of their work, like HR and legal, got offices with doors. I hear from people at other companies that this is not always the case.
