Don't kid yourself. Take down walls, and people will still find ways to signal rank and hierarchy. People are the cause of this, not private working spaces.

- GFischer 11y agoAt a large company I won't name, for the new buildings, the president ordered that no-one (except for the president of course) would have an enclosed office. The results were not what he would have wanted: management now commandeers the conference and meeting rooms almost all the time. And the buildings are incredibly awful for individual workers (absolutely no privacy at all, either a totalitarian no-sound approach or complete chaos, no private phone calls, etc.)
