Re: PABT may get $10 Billion overhaul

Admittedly this is straying off topic for BusChat, but the company where I worked until my recent retirement had been moving toward an "open floor" concept until they finally ran out of money for renovations, so my department was fortunately spared losing their individual offices.

Universally, management loved the idea and the engineers all hated it. There were loads of studies quoted which all agreed that it made the office less productive, not more.

The professed rationale behind the conversions was to increase collaboration between groups, but at the same time it was suggested that employees minimize talking to keep the environment as quiet as possible to let people do their work.

The main reason companies go this way is to save money on office setup and reshuffles during personnel moves.
