3.5 feet is barely higher than a desk (a normal one). That's like leaving your waiter a penny tip.

Yeah, but at least people can't see your junk on "wear a kilt to work" day...

I get that for a startup money is tight. Instead of telling employees:

"You folks really deserve a your own offices but we just can't afford it."

Instead they tell you the big lie; that they are doing it because it "increases collaboration".

If money is really that tight, you can just have people work from home. That's a lot cheaper than renting commercial office space.

Stack 2 walls on top of each other! And laid that with 2 walls you'll be double effective. Then convince everyone needs it. And extend that idea from there!

That's exactly what they are going for - desk height.
