Ours had a fancy "library", well-stocked with thought-provoking books, supposedly for stimulating discussion and study, realistically only for showing investors around. The "library" backed out onto the Big Boss' office and he didn't like the noise. Oh, I forget, of course he sat with us lowly minions at the coal face of open space, and it definitely wasn't his office. Except it was. And he didn't like the noise.
