For every Boulder office like this there are a dozen more you will never see or know about. All built pre-pandemic, all built as Googly as possible to attract young talent, and all completely empty for the last three years.

How do I know? I sit in one a few times a week in a hybrid role. The office can seat 200 and there are maybe 20 that come in. It's a colossal waste of space and energy. Nothing has worked to date to attract the WFH people that will never return. But hey, there's free beer next Thursday after work.

I'd kill for an office with a door. Instead, I look over a sea of empty open office space with bean bags and foosball tables everywhere. I feel bad for whomever has to disassemble this Airstream trailer and get it back down the freight elevator.
