We use MS Teams to chat with people at the next desk. Especially since some uses headphones and you would have to scream.

How much space does a indoor wall take in comparation to the space between the desk there are anyway in open offices.

You have to put cabinets on the floor since shelves can't hang on walls.

Whiteboards are on feet in the "hallway".

I have never been in an open office and though "Jeez look at all the space they save by not having walls" if you would compare to 6 or 4 person offices.

So imagine a single 6x12 table. You can comfortably seat 8 people at a table that size. Even if you packed those people into 4 person offices, 2 offices take more space than a big table in the middle of a floor that shares walking space with the other stuff around it.

They’re awful for productivity, but they definitely are cheaper.
