I get that some people love their offices and think they are amazing work environments, but when I probe, it always seems to boil down to emotional attachment.

I get that some people love their offices and think they are amazing work environments, but when I probe, it always seems to boil down to emotional attachment. A lifestyle choice. Offices usually don't actually improve productivity, IMO.
- huetius 5y agoThat’s probably true in many, or even most cases. Even so, what do you think about the example of the formerly successful company that now can’t retain engineers? Even if the benefits were entirely intangible, this still ultimately has had an effect on productivity, right? Intangible benefits are… benefits! I think the benefits were quite tangible in this case; I can elaborate as much as I can while maintaining my anonymity if you think it’s relevant. EDIT: more formatting. Can’t type today.
- civilized 5y agoSome people need the office. Some companies run on it. I don't care for it. Maybe we could all just leave each other alone.
