There's also plenty of people that clearly don't prefer them - but even for the ones that do studies have consistently shown that open office layouts are terrible for productivity. If the purpose of a workplace is to be a place where people work something that increases productivity probably shouldn't be so easily dismissed.
- mc32 11y agoI think there are also a number of people who say they prefer open offices because they don't want to appear to buck the accepted cool trend. It's like when you ask a child if she'd like to share toys with her cousins. She's expected to say yes, and if she does say no, the parents will remind her she's supposed to be nice and share. So it's not really a choice, it's an appearance of choice.
