I think these managers who love open office don't understand we need individual rooms.
Also, before talking about returning, there are bigger factors that contribute to productivity. Having a secretary is probably far more important than working in an office.
And to completely de-motivate to return, I work for my life, not the other way around.
Yeah I’d kill for an office at this point. Like it’s not even to fuck around, I just need to not be constantly distracted or on show. I’m a professional, part of my job is sitting there thinking, I’d like to have space to do that. But nope, open office plan with insane upper management
