Just because some engineer said he thinks giving everyone private offices is the answer doesn't make it the right answer. You know, the whole "If I asked the customer what he wanted he would have said a faster horse' thing. But it's very clear that the current situation is not working and needs to change. I told my CEO that our open office setup sucked and if they invested in making it a nicer space more people would come back. He ignored me and talked about converting the space that our sublessee vacated into more conference rooms. That made me angry, but then I found out that he isn't renewing our office lease and has hired some workplace consultants to figure out the best path forward. They're going to get a new, smaller space and figure out how to best handle a workforce that is never required in the office. Only the people that want to come in will come in. The only problem I foresee is that if they make our new space too nice, more people are going to start coming in than they planned for. LOL.
