Our Open-Plan Office Failed, So We’re Moving to a Towering Panopticon

Open office is bad for general productivity of all, but organizing against it is bad specifically for your own career and salary. Good negotiators tend to go for their own salaries, interesting projects, better positions etc etc etc while pushing against open office (or other popular corporate must have) makes their position for the above weaker. Anonymous venting is safer and feels good.

Now you know.

"Good negotiators tend to go for their own salaries, interesting projects" is a general rule in life too right?

I can work in an open office plan when i set my own hours and work remotely or in a private space (i'll be using this space for 4 hours every day seems to work for me)

As long as you establish this upfront and it is written down into your contract.
