Last time I dealt with this, 20 years ago. The cost of an office for a tech worker appeared to be basically nil. Less than 5% of wages, benefits, insurance. Place I'm in is a 1500sqft warren. Costs $300/month per tech monkey.
Gonna pay $12000/mo for a code monkey? Costs $300-500/mo for him to have an office? The extravagance!
I'm back to an old observation by Scott Adams; Ask yourself why the secretaries chair doesn't have armrests. Cost isn't an issue, the price difference is $50. This is all about status and class not money.
