So, to be clear, the way at least the tools I've worked with operate: - websites implementing these tools need to specifically opt-in text fields they want to capture the inputs for - for HTML-side capture, the javascript will obfuscat

I think in this thread people are kind of conflating office construction vs. cubicle construction. It's true that cubicle construction is pretty comparable to open plan in terms of cost and speed, but cubicles have a bad rep. If you&
