What amazes me in my company that although everybody agrees that the current setup is bad whenever they do something new they fall back to gray cubicles or open space. It seems this is just unstoppable despite everybody agreeing that it s not good.
Open office plans are the worst.
When money is an issue (Which is always the case), you can't help but fall back to one or the other.
Basically you trade off a quick way to work with quality-of-working.
