The funny thing is that a lot of these startups give out a Bose noise cancelling headphones along with the onboarding. I have really good hearing, so loud clapping for example will make me cower. Listening to background discussions in startups is quite literally physically torturing to me.

Bose headphones are a lot cheaper than the extra floor(s) they'd need to rent to give everyone an office

But according to the article it's not actually that much more expensive to give everyone an office.

This is a statement with no data behind it. At least some people don't think there's any cost difference.

Also, building owners are getting so desperate for tenants they'd probably cut you a good deal if you needed more space instead of less.
