It’s amazing how businesses want to run on data, but when presented with the successfulness of a 4-day work week, that’s not the data they want
Back in 2014, was working for a customer that moved me and their other engineers from cubes to an "open plan" space. Claimed it would increase cooperation and knowledge sharing. It quickly lead to everyone getting noise cancelling earphones and, ultimately, people like me leaving.
But what about company culture???
What about spontaneous creativity in the hallways/break room/etc ?
