This is a really good question.
I don't think there are a lot of good normative answers -- I dislike open offices and cubes aren't much better (and at present, I'd especially have trouble regarding a management team that's still on board with them with either respect or trust).
But I'd guess the descriptive answer is that the open office is essentially the new factory floor. Many information age jobs look "white collar" but at a certain level, they function and are viewed through a widget-factory management lens.
- cosmodisk 6y agoI think a lot if people don't realise that they are the new factory workers,only the production line is at their desks. It makes me laugh how some office people think they are very smart and often look down to those who don't work in an office.Ffs Jenny, you just sending emails to people all day long,you aren't doing rocket science here..
