> it's a well known phenomena Do you have any data to back it up or did you just made it up?

  http://www.businessinsider.com/poorly-timed-headquarters-2009-11 http://www.businessinsider.com/poorly-timed-headquarters-200... Or from a16z: "Pouring huge money into overly glorious new headquarters — “The Edifice Complex” — then repeating two years later. There’s also a danger in signaling to employees “we’ve made it, we’re amazing” (and while everyone hates the cramped but collaborative space when they’re in it, they miss it terribly after the move)."

    That's anecdote, not data. Having 10 examples doesn't validate your point. And for the a16z stuff you quoted, the first paragraph says "10 ways to damage your fast-growing tech startup". Thanks for classifying Google as a fast-growing tech startup, but I think the startup phase was over a long time ago.

      You had asked for data that it was a well-known phenomena. A major business publication and a well-known VC firm both referring to it by name is decent data for it being well-known, and the best you're going to get without paying me.
