Overall, they suck. They're popular because it reduces the costs of equipping an office.

They are scientifically proven to lower productivity and make work more stressful.

This is what happens when Millennials care more about the appearance of business than the actual work done.

Loud as fuck, completely distracting, definitely a hindrance to progress and actual work.

I used to program at a place that had one of these "open floor plans", and it had a high ceiling. The result is that the noise is fucking cacophony and the loudest bitches in the room talk constantly with people who apparently give a fuck, while everyone else sits there like "um, trying to focus plz". Its fucking terrible. Only the most annoying extroverted people would think its a good idea.

It's just some rapacious BS. The "modern design" of simplistic patterns and empty space originated because of people being cheap. The second reason is to make it easier to catch anyone who isn't in perpetual work-slave mode.

Realistically, it's counterintuitive for virtually all work other than something like a trading related operation (people next to you could give you help more easily when they can just turn their head toward your screen).

>>1455625

Businesses have caught on to the fact that the 40 hour work week is bullshit and the overwhelming majority of that time is wasted by everyone from the top down.

The solution to this was to essentially create a Chinese sweat shop that prevents anyone from not working non stop.

Now you get over 100% productivity without increasing pay.

Naturally, you can easily sell it to Millennials if you make it look hipster enough.

I'm sure you're well into your highschool career, if you haven't yet dropped out. Not everyone has student loans, many degrees are important to the functioning and advancement of society, people still learn shit from college despite the fact you think you won't learn anything without having ever even tried college, etc. You're worse than millennials who go to college and think they know everything, because instead you're shitposting on 4chan and won't even give community college a shot because you think your retail job is better than what anyone else could get with a degree.

Fucking hate open offices. Don't wanna hear kther peoples phone calls and conversations, I dont want to have a fucking "hot desk" that I have to set up and take down every day, I dont want to smell your food and farts or see you wearing open toed shoes or no shoes at all for some reason at work, i sure as fuck dont want to catch your disease from across the room when you cough and good god I do not want you looking over my shoulder while I try to work.

It is. Human resources love to frame these type of things as being for the benefit of employees when they are nothing of the sort.

Kind of how temp agencies frame their shitty hours as being 'flexible'.

>but when I think of the cost of office space and equipment compared to staff, surely it must be obvious to even the biggest mongoloid that this shit isn't worth it if it leads to even a few percent drop in productivity?

Depends on what the job is.

Sure for anything requiring deep work these things are terrible. But for low level work where employees are interchangeable then the cost savings are worth it.

In an actual working environment they will be jamming these tables together as close as possible. Giving each worker the minimum legally required amount of space.

By doing this they can cut office space required by 70% which is a massive saving.

>>1455018
Only for creative jobs like fashion and advertising. And also only for the types that like chaos. As a creative myself I prefer to work alone for some time and then expose the ideas to others, then go back to the drawing board, rinse & repeat.

Unfortunately the open office is ubiquitous now. I think companies, especially startups and tech companies bought into a meme and suffer from it without knowing it. That said it's a cheap way to get work done in the starting phases of a company when you are too much of a beggar to afford real offices.

ITT: People who have never worked in an open/community project.

They're fantastic for productivity during high speed runs and projects, especially when you have a multitude of skills. Especially true in digital industries, but also applies to fashion/etc sometimes.

There're countless examples of fuck ups and people implementing open offices in place of offices rather than in addition to, which invariably lowers productivity and isolates some team members, but those are from companies who don't know what they're doing in the first place. Valve and Google are great examples of companies using "open" offices and project sharing to their fullest.

if you didnt have a 20 million dollar rent as part of your overheads, and your employees didnt spend 2 hours a day commuting to work (either by can or broken down train/bus) maybe the workplace would be a little more tolerable

the office building i work in is essentially a large open floor with waist high 'cubicles' arranged in a large grid pattern

wanting to be in an open plan office is subconsciously acknowledging that youre still a child and want to be in a classroom environment with an adult supervising you at all times

Don't be a fuckin' nigger denying the fact that these individuals didn't learn more during their actual internship, shadowing, etc.

The problem being that the reason the 40 hour work week is bullshit is because people that aren't working literally to survive won't tolerate that shit.

It'll work out until you have a brand new guy training everyone else on the particulars.

I get what you're saying, but you're not understanding the fact that a lot of managers are on power trips.

I've had a couple good bosses in my time, but I can just see some fuck cuck-ring ran "community table" being fuckin' hawked by some smart-ass 22 year-old manager that was hired by his dad (because he got his degree in Business Management), and having no clue what the fuck he's actually doing.

Oh, also, it was the 22 year-old's idea of this open space community table, too. So it does no justice to assume that the community table is "... for the staff."

>>1456617

Because I had pursued it before everything around us started going to shit and riots started happening everywhere.

If I got to lieutenant for example I'd make over 100k/yr. I wanted to get into the administration and high-end part of police work, and instead ended up going federal. Unless I get my master's, I won't make it past GS 12. If I got my master's and sucked plenty of dick throughout my career, I'd most likely end up capping at GS 13. It just feels like I hit a stalemate where my career simply cannot advance anywhere further.

Federal is the way to go, honestly.

I was truly looking into Criminal Justice and Criminology, but was immediately warned by many from law enforcement background (everyone from a typical baby-blue Recruit to Commanders and Chiefs) that it was a cucked future that I should immediately avoid.

I'm doing a Business Administration and Management / Information Systems degree plan, which I'm relatively pleased with, but I'm just frustrated with all the "other" bullshit classes I'm forced to take in conjunction of my actual focuses. The other classes are entirely non-related to my interest and focuses, but I need it for my degree plan.

Hey, but you do know that in the more populated and regarded police departments, Sergeants can collect over $100,000.00+ a year... Most times without any substantial overtime or off-duty, at that.

I did an internship for a Chief of Police office (won't specify which location, but it's a substantially well-known department), and I'll let you know now, the administration side is not worth it. Work the streets, be a Sergeant or a Captain (at most), and retire happy and rich.

So far we've avoided a move because my boss flatly refused the head of school requests unless we can move the equipment as well.

Only reason the administration side isn't worth it is because of all the social justice black lives matter crap going on. Honestly, if you say or do the wrong thing you can undermine your entire career, because liberals will make you a target to get you fired for no reason.

The 40 hour week is lower standard in Germany. 35 hours for few office jobs, 45 hours for most jobs.

Is 40 hours actually considered inhumane elsewhere?

I, too, think that productivity after 8 hours of work is probably very low. 6 seems to be most efficient, making it 30 hour weeks (they are called part-time here :')).

>>1455021
>reduce productivity

Okay, that may be true, but they encourage the employees to socialize and relieve stress. They can talk to someone at any point, to they create bonds with each other and the company as well.

tl;dr slight drop in productivity, huge boost to work atmosphere.

This is what happens when you have an entire generation of humans raised by school until their 20's

I work in the finance dept of an insurance company with an open plan office it's been like that for years though so noone seems to have a problem with it, every office I've worked in was like this as well.

this, less hours means you focus on getting crucial things done with more efficiency

Yea in my "relaxed public accounting firm" we did 60 hour weeks, so 6, 10 hour days a week and it felt pretty brutal.

The last hour at work I always reserved as my "wikipedia hour" where I would just read about what history I wanted to learn about that day.

Working 10 hours a day for months straight was just painful and nobody tried to get anything done quickly.

they had the 'olympic games' at my office

which essentially meant that all the slacker fucks could ignore their duties and that the break room was unusable for actual breaks unless you wanted to participate in the 'fun'

those chairs look like theyd kill your back

>>2 weeks ago we had 'PIZZA PIZZA PRODUCTIVITY' which was everyone who hit their target being given a slice of pizza
>>obese woman who sits opposite me literally sat at her desk the whole day staring at the screen so I guess it worked

>socialize and relieve stress
Happy hour at the bar seems like a whole lot better place for that.

And we're supposed to take you seriously.

As an introvert, I'd probably just end up killing myself.

>80 hours
That doesn't even leave you 8 hours sleep a night, wtf I hate the Japs now. I did that in factory for some rush rework job for a couple weeks when I was young, and even with the overtime, never fucking again.

>>if you want something from HR you have to play a quick round of Monopoly or something

This is how you make a man snap.
I'd leave before someone brings a gun to the office.

FUCKING NORMIES GET OUTTA MY /BIZ/

REEEEEEEE!!!!!

>>1456861
God, I hate this hippy go lucky hipster faggot autism concept so much.

Just be serious and get to /biz/ness.

China would fucking laugh in your face for a workplace like that.

"Organised fun" is the fucking devil. HR can spend all day fucking around because nothing they do matters. The rest of us have actually grown-up work to do.

Dude is obsessed with trying to become Rust from True Detective now because he hates the tech industry so much

>>1455018
Works for a business like buzzfeed i bet, but this is the type of shit that makes a professional, with a professional job WANT a cubicle. This is a step AWAY from a personal office. No one who isn't a fag wants that.
