Huge productivity enhancer. You can always collaborate with someone either over the net or by just walking over and talking in the same office.
While in open plan you're always "collaborating" with everyone within earshot (I also get distracted by people moving around behind my screen).
There's a reason why open plan was mostly abandoned in the 60s, an no good (non short-sighted) reason why it was resurrected in the '00s.
- keepamovin 3y agoWhat was the actual reasoning? Like, Zuck is a survivor and genius I respect (he's not perfect tho obviously)...but why does he do open plan at FB? Why did any of the tech companies do open plan? Are they thinking about it? Do they measure it? What's the rationale?
