Unfortunately, having your own office is costly plus it doesn't satisfy the boss's need to see a large group of people actively doing his/her bidding.

perhaps you're working for the wrong boss. Every effective boss I've ever worked for wanted to see two things:

1) revenue 2) results

Those who got distracted by other crap tended not to be as successful by objective metrics. Just my experience though

These kind of bosses are a rare species in any setting.

Most want to build their political cartel, protect it and build it for their own good.

I've even seen bosses who purposefully punish high performers out of fear that they might become a threat to their job.

an office doesn't necessarily have: (2) walls that are made of drywall and are floor to ceiling (1) drywall + door (1) window

I am looking at new office space now and I am thinking about setting up glass cubicles and having an office sound system that will pump out white noise.

I am concerned about aesthetics though.
