A firm is a hierarchy, and this is a form of social control.
- humanrebar 13y agoAs a counterpoint, there are companies that have open floor plans or cubes for everyone all the way up to the C*Os.
- ArbitraryLimits 13y agoYeah, but the CEO always ends up commandeering the nicest conference room as his de facto office, or else he's always on the road.
- rhizome 13y agoYes, there "are" companies where the CxOs are out on the floor like everybody else, but I've only seen it once and that was when we were ~5ppl doing an officeshare.
