Yep. And the management of these companies are dabbing their misty eyes as they grieve over all the "impromptu" "serendipitous" "water cooler" innovation sessions that have been lost. You can just see the visuals in their minds. Stock images of their lowly, loyal drones clad in business casual, smiling, scurrying about with manila folders in hand, shaking hands. Not a single human being that they actually know or have observed in the workplace. These people wouldn't be caught dead near a humble IC, and yet they have the gall to tell us how best to get our work done.
