I don't think any manager who chooses and open office plan because it's cheaper (and I'm betting that that is almost all of them) has considered, or cares about, the cost of reduced productivity. Otherwise it wouldn't be so common.

But that's just my experience. I've found it's difficult to underestimate management.

It's impossible to measure, and thus isn't data that is taken into consideration.

Sabotage your employees and you don’t have to give them a raise. Win win!
