Could not agree more. Open plan offices are death to producitivity. They were fine when you had a massive pool of people doing mechanical bureaucracy but they are terrible for anyone doing anything creative or knowledge based. They are also a major problem with hybrid offices: meetings/conference calls. If everyone is in the office, you find a meeting room... no problem (assuming you can find one). If everyone is remote, you all jump on a call... no problem. When half the team are remote, and multiple teams are remote, you suddenly have way more calls in an open plan office, which is horrific.
