In 2018/2019 discussions about open offices vs private spaces were all the rage. Bean counters (C*Os) were fast to position open offices as great promoters of interactions and teamwork.
Fast forward 2 years and thankfully that conversation has moved to WFH vs office work.
- midasuni 5y agoPresumably bean counters will be on the side of WFH, as staff no longer need the massive subsidy of office space, and in most cases won’t charge more.
- rantwasp 5y agothis was never about bean counting. it was about power. if you can put the drones in an open space while you have your own luxurious office that’s power. if you can force the drones back in office so that you can watch them and create synergies that’s power!
- draw_down 5y agoThe absolute most under discussed aspect of this issue. As an employee you’re paying for their office space now... and they sell it as a benefit to YOU.
- sam0x17 5y agoNot if the bean counters built or rented out a huge office and now have to justify that purchase to higher up bean counters or shareholders.
