Anecdotes like this bother me. Specifically that one can really draw conclusions like this based on them:

Would this have happened anyways? Did it really had anything to do with a new building at all or more to do with a company that failed in it's transition? All successful companies have to grow up at some point, is not moving into a new building isn't going to fix that problem just create different problems for you to deal with.
