>I did an informal survey of the team (who had previously been working from their respective homes) about whether they'd prefer their main desks to be in private offices or an open room, and the winner was the open office.
I think it's a case of peer pressure. Nobody wants to be seen as the anti-team-spirit guy who wants to work in their office alone. But deep in their heart I bet all of them wanted a private office.
- collyw 11y agoI have experiences in both. My previous job I started in the office at the side, and felt a bit left out when I could hear everyone laughing in the main open plan office next door. I moved in to the main office eventually. My current job, when I started I shared a largish office with one other girl. This was perfect in my opinion. If we wanted to be social, we could speak to each other. If we wanted to get on with work we could. Now the organization has grown and we are 4 squeezed into the same office. The space isn't the issue, its when people come in to discuss things. One person in the office is involved in the conversation, but it ends up affecting everyone sitting there.
