I disagree with his idea that you should not have a private office.
Granted, I don't currently have an office job, but given that a phone call or knock on my door will rip me straight out of the flow, I can't imagine even being able to get in it in the first place in a room with half a dozen other people all madly typing away, making noises, and moving around in my peripheral vision.
- staunch 19y agoWith laptops and no PHBs why even make a decision? I really like both. When doing work that is highly collaborative it's nice to have everyone in spitting distance. When I have have no need for discussion with others I love my solitary hackathons. The most productive times I've had were moving back and forth between the two environments freely.
- kingnothing 19y agoAgreed. I'm not a big fan of laptops, but having various work areas that one can move between would be ideal.
- Goladus 19y agoThe funny thing is that standard cubicles are well-suited to making it difficult for you to do that. Cubicles are neither private, nor collaborative. Cubicles create social barriers between you and your neighbors, yet do little to block the flow of noise in the environment. There's no real privacy, yet no sense that collaboration is encouraged.
