I don’t understand how they are paying people 200k+ and unable to provide them with proper offices with a door and whiteboard.

  Open office is all about big cost saving. The moment there are closed walls and doors, lot of other cost kicks in - individual HVAC vents, plumbing for individual fire sprinklers, wire routing for electric, network etc. Open office also makes it easy to replan office layout without much additional expense - when extra people needs to be accommodated (summer influx of interns, campus hires etc).

    You left out higher occupant density. Everywhere I've worked with an open floorplan office packed everyone like sardines. Resembles a classroom more than a workplace...

    I would take a significant pay cut to have my own office rather than hot desking in an open office.
