I have a really fucking big office at my new job with a door that closes and locks, and I can tell you that itโs so incomparably better than an open office plan that itโs almost like not working in comparison. And the reality is, I get more done. Much more. Itโs vastly more productive. Iโm skeptical that open office plans save money anywhere but on paper.
Alas, saving money on paper is what MBAs care about so I guess we are stuck with them. But Iโm not, and all I have to say about that is hell yeah.
