Because it is. Fuck that fucking open office bullshit. I hate it and my current job has one, gives me fucking anxiety attacks. Give me a fucking private office where I can actually get work done

>>12058062
I guess it has a more industrial factory feel to it then an office

>>12058062
Cant wince in agony about wage cucking without someone noticing and even asking, whats wrong.

Collaborate. 70% of your coworkers are clueless and need to source ideas from the 30%

You don't have privacy to masturbate and shitpost in /biz/.

cables hanging from the ceiling like the umbilical cord of a hideous beast

computers and the internet were a mistake

Welcome to wage slavery, here's your picnic table, we'd invest in more expensive office furniture but we're not quite sure this is going to work out, so go fuck yourself, I'll be in my office with a door, or golfing.

>>12058062
The place is gorgeus tho. I love that architecture. In Europe you will never ever gonna find a building with that high ceiling

Because with cubicles you have a space that is yours and a layer of semi-privacy. In an open office you have no space that is yours.

>why didn’t I sell in January

>when will it end

that place needs to be nuked

oh and there's the other one fucking around on facebook instead of doing her job.

>>12058131
HAHAHHAAHAHAH

>>12058062
Because it is. At least in cubicles, you have privacy.

Spotted the (((management)))

>>12058062
studies have proven time and time again, open offices reduce employee happiness, employe productivity and morale by a large amount

the kikes at the top don't care though, it saves them thousands per year in space, much more than the lost productivity/happiness costs

>>12058198
>>12058207
NOW KISS

>oh and there's the other one fucking around on facebook instead of doing her job.
retard, that's facebook HQ. Likely that "fucking around" on Facebook (maybe testing, design or programming) in some capacity IS her job.

why is this board so full of turbo brainlets

Open office comes from the same business mentality as modern restaurant aesthetic which is all wide open space and hard surfaces. They're both pushed as ways to improve customer/employee experience but it's just a fucking front to save money. Cubes are heavy and expensive and let employees fuck off in privacy. Open offices are cheap as fuck, all you need are some tables, you can convert warehouse space into primo office space without literally having to make any structural changes, and the zero-privacy means everyone gets to secretly police each other in a shitty zero-sum game of sucking up to management.

It is win/win for owners of capital and just another indignity for wagecucks to have to shoulder.

>>12058062
this looks fun as fuck. sure you won't be very productive, but at least you would be wasting time properly. got to build something like that in my town.

>>12058062
Looking at this, I can see what Sam Hyde was talking about.

>gorgeus

It's a factory repurposed as office space. It's ugly to have all the internals exposed. During an earthquake all that shit is going to fall on your head.

>>12058131
And not a single nog in the picture

Open plan offices literally make people physically ill. You are more likely to suffer musculoskeletal problems from working in one. I wouldn't be surprised if companies would be liable for worker's comp injuries for employees who experience back problems, for example.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21528171

"Compared to cellular offices, occupants in 2-person offices had 50% more days of sickness absence"

"occupants in 3-6-person offices had 36% more days of sickness absence"

"and occupants in open-plan offices (>6 persons) had 62% more days of sickness absence"

62%, this is fucking insanity!

>>12058352
Fucking this. I’m so glad I work remotely and don’t have to deal with this shit. Push some code, leave a couple messages in Slack to make it look like I give a shit, and then take a two hour lunch to go look at rental properties. Only five more years of wageslaving and I’m done forever.

>>12058426
Why does that happen? Lack of personal space?

>>12058406
Would be funny to see a nice thicc class action too.

>>12058439
stress, is real and it fucks people hard

>>12058420
Because they know that as soon as they hire them, Blacks are going to complain about lack of diversity and passive aggressive racism. Easier to pretend to be Liberal and not racist.

To think, in the 90s, people endlessly complained about cubicles. Grass is always greener, I suppose.

>>12058062
Good God, you can almost see the soi fumes rising up from those collective piles of leftist shit.

Thing is, as a programmer you need "alone time" or to at least be in a state of minimal disturbance so you can get into flow state for optimal productivity and creative problem solving.

Tech companies are often started by technical founders, so why do they do this?

I can respect CEOs that work on the floor like any other worker -- Zuckerberg claims to do this -- but in actuality it never works out that way with most of the decision making process taking place in conference rooms and behind closed doors.

>>12058327
Jesus christ, literally me

All my coworkers talk about is Red Dead 2

>>12058062

Working like that doesn't work. I hate open plan offices. I work from home and need complete silence. Lose my train of though if someone even says something minor to me.

> t. autist

>>12058522
stay mad righty

>>12058527
This. I don't get how anybody can get into the flow in this horrible open space shit.
Or are those normies there only bullshitting and never in any kind of flow?

>>12058062
I would literally rather work on a chain-gang in an Alabama prison that work in that leftist shit-hole.

>>12058352
I'd say it's less about cost cutting (Facebook pays their workers quite well, generous pay and benefits) and much more about the panopticon-style control you mentioned in the latter half of your post.

Smaller startups may adopt it because of low cost, but that's not why it's being advocated for by the ultra profitable big guys like Facebook and Google .

>virgin hunch vs chad posture

>>12059015
They both look like virgins desu

My office isn't bullpen, but it doesn't have individual cubes either. Rows of these instead.

Because it's so fake. Look at how hip I am, I work in an open office, well guess what, if my boss tells me to suck his dick, I do it like a good wagie and so do you, the only difference being you can feel hip and cool about it when you work in an environment like that. It is designed to lull you into submission and wagecucking, Goys are like cattle. It's best to keep them well-fed, and so what if you kill a cow to get steak, the other cows don't realise that anyway

>>12058327

I would have a sign that says I have ear plugs on lol I can't focus with 1000 moving pieces and random b.s. going about. Sure it looks kinda comfy except for the fact that they cram in every last square footage to disrupt any possibility of flow

>>12059015

Lol I seriously don't understand how these people have no upper back problems. My shoulder blades get sore if I have to constantly 'reach' with my arms for prolonged periods of time

the fuck is wrong with you guys? it's just a layout do your job and get out

>>12058243

Lol what kind of shitty office flaunts their retarded politics like this? I hope their business fails and they go bankrupt.

This. For some reason open office triggers my anxiety. It feels like I have eyes and ears on me when in reality I don't. Almost like I can feel all of the energy in the room. Meanwhile if I move to a secluded space and just call the desk of whoever I need, I can crank out tasks nonstop. It probably looks like I'm fucking around though, because no one can see my screen in the private office.
