Comment In my 40 years working in the valley the last 15 (Score 2) 110
In my 40 years working in the valley the last 15 years have been the worst. As the open office fiasco rose my productivity loss from constant distractions got worse and worse. I finally asked my boss if I could WFH on Fridays and I loved it. Towards the end I WFH everyday. Phone calls when I needed it and focus when I needed it.
My multiple greatest recognitions from customers and management all the way to the top which happened many times did not require sitting in a room or hallway schmoozing.
Hopefully companies will finally do their fiduciary duty and stop building open office palaces and let people work everywhere. They will save a lot of money.
