This ensures that you know you're nothing more than a lineworker in a digital factory.

Open offices are the first half of that, and open desks are the other half.

Who does it benefit? The company in cost per person of space. Any other metric applied shows gross inadequacies of open offices.

Yeah, they market it as "even the CEO doesn't have his own office!" Oh, cool, he works from home or is travelling the whole time and doesn't need one.

Maybe i'm just being a baby, but a work desk doesn't feel complete without at least a picture of my dog at it, haha.
