Bad tech is the reason you hate your office

> In the next five years, approximately 75% of leaders will adopt the Internet of Things and connected devices, as well as AI. 80% more will incorporate big-data analytics.

That must come from a buzzword generator.

This post is a puff piece to sell office furniture.

That was a lot of words to say very little. I think the headline is correct though. Office environments are designed with many competing goals, and employee wellbeing usually isn’t top priority. I was hoping to read about some good office tech in the article, left disappointed.

no it's not bad tech. it's managers lying about productivity or team building. a manager that lies on this will lie on everything and cannot be trusted. then, there's the noise, the time lost going to work, and coming back from work. the costs of those travels. the cost of food... the noise, the interruptions, the useless meetings that could have been solved with an email and 5 minutes...

Does not answer the implied "well, which bad tech in particular, can you name it?" question.

Probably because this article is just consultant balloon juice. Brings up the "Allen Curve", which is a real thing, just not generally known, out of thin air. Lots and lots of words with very little substance, and contrary to just about every employee's lived experience.
