Seriously? Put most tables facing the wall? Who wants to look at a wall and have no screen privacy?

  Their at work, they're suppose to be looking at their screen not out the window. Their at work, they're suppose to be working on their work not watching netflix. I think its a nice setup. My only concern would be my laptop overheating on those wooden desks.

    They're at work, they're supposed to be suffering from eye strain. Desks facing walls is bad, because you can't shift your view to something distant to rest your eyes without turning around. And I wouldn't even dream of working anywhere that had the mentality "you should be working all the time so it doesn't matter who is looking over your shoulder". If I need to spend 5 minutes talking to the wife on IM, I am going to. If you have a problem with that, you're going to have a hard time hiring good people.

    They are professionals--they're supposed to be delivering value for the company. If watching netflix helps them think, let them watch some goddamn netflix. Butts-in-seats is a horrible metric; butts-in-seats-with-code-editor focused even moreso.

    I hate people sneaking up behind me while I'm wearing headphones. Plus, some information is confidential even within a company (eg if an employee has an HR concern like feeling upset about another employee).
