I do. And I have a door. Everybody in my company has a private office with windows and in a way it's the best of both worlds. Collaboration and impromptu discussions are possible, we sometimes have lunch together, and I can close my door when I want. We also have the option of working from home Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I've only ever worked for one company that had an open office plan - a big room with a bunch of desks loosely organized into teams - and I wonder if money saved on real estate is worth the productivity loss? I assume the big companies and consultancies have measured this, but I'm skeptical.

Yeah, the one upside to this stuff is I feel like the next few years are going to be prime for consulting.

Abandoned projects, AI slop, etc.
