Yup. Joel from Joel On Software covered this years ago. He made sure all devs have a quiet, private office, with window and door.
The problem is, it’s cheap to just throw desks together in an empty room and call it a “fish bowl” or “open office section”.
Most companies don’t care that it affects morale, productivity. Just that they were able to seat 5 more people with a cheap trip to IKEA.
Can’t stop people taking the lazy, easy alternative.
