    It kind of depends on the job and the size of the company. My father was an engineer and spent time in offices and open floors full of drawing tables. The small companies could accommodate offices, but that was too hard to pull off with larger companies.

    I remember some old offices buildings at MS where they tried to give everyone a little baby office, and it was actually pretty depressing and weird.

    A lot of offices didn’t, and some still don’t, consider the design of the floor plan. You’d end up with beige cubes filling most of the floor, with no little chill spots to break out and collaborate.

    IMHO, a good floor plan has some areas for people to hide and focus, some comfortable areas to collaborate outside of a conference room, and some areas to recharge.

    Gen X in their 40s: “We’re the boss now. Kill the cubicles. Open floor plan.”

    Millennials in their 20s: “Fuck this distracting open floor plan.”

  • The explanation behind the survey data is pretty fascinating. Researchers surveyed people who don’t drink, not people who never drank.

    A cohort of non-drinkers will also consist of recovering alcoholics. They needed to survey people who never consumed alcohol at all, not a group of people who weren’t currently drinking.
