  23. My opinion (as programmer,sysadmin and manager)... on How To Get Rid of the Cubicle? · · Score: 1

    I used to work in
    the following office layouts
      - private office for two
      - open-style office for eight with large desks
      - open-style office for 20 with small desks, everybody has only his own 2 feets of space.
    My opinion - choose either
      - private offices with its privacy and calm comfortable athmosphere
      - or VERY cramped offices where people are forced to sit very near to each other - that can increase interworking relations and pair programming/administration benefits. If you are a good manager, you can offset low comfortability with additional money benefits, flexible time or other
    Cubicles and open-styles with large desks are noisy, thus making people much less productive (even if they do phone calling, they are less attricative as managers at other end!) and also as relative distance between workers is large, personal communication is crampy. So cubicles is the worst design...
