I can guarantee you tech (or office workers in general) did NOT vote for increased "collaborative workspace environment" layouts, such as the ones being shown here. These were dreamt up by higher leadership who do not understand or care about the true productivity of the worker. I worked at a company that drank the kool-aid about CWE, and workers somehow benefitting for constant noise, distraction, and constant chaos of multiple conversations going on while you were trying to focus and concentrate. The cubicle farm was absolutely more conducive to productivity and innovation, as people were actually allowed to think and concentrate. Collaboration was not hindered, as dm'ing colleagues, or getting up and physically communicating with teammates was always an option. The architects who push "flexible workstations" do not care about about health and disease spread ramifications, resulting from different people using the same space each day. The upshot from this nonsense is that: greater numbers of employees will prioritize working from home,

Collaboration is great but at the end of the day, it's completing actual tasks and getting real work done that matters.

Employees must never be forced to work from an office. If the daily work can be achieved while working from our homes, then it literally makes no sense for a person to unnecessarily commute to an office building to do the same work. Period

I thought cubicles created more efficient workers based on new studies rather than open concepts. I know as a engineer I work better when not bothered, so working from home is better. Using correct methodologies and hiring critical thinkers is better than making more spaces like this. I end up working more at home because I know that when I'm done I am already home.

Nothing will drag me back into any office ever again.

True reason for open offices is that they are cheapest way. The more people you can cram in the same floor space and less permanent structures like walls you have cheaper it is to build and rent...

I went to office one day this month. As I was walking a block to catch the bus, I saw the bus go by. The bus was early. I turned around to walk in the opposite direction about 4 blocks to catch another bus. That bus was late. When I got to the subway, the train was delayed. I realized in that moment going thru this commuter craziness on a daily basis has to take years off a person's life.

As long as it remains the 100% voluntary, it’s fine. Otherwise, all of this comes at considerable cost to the employee (time, gas, meals, and vehicular maintenance - or transit costs) and the environment (increased air pollution). All of this would’ve been great pre-pandemic where inflation was pretty much fixed at 2% and housing costs were a bit more stable.

Nothing is going to beat that * I don't have to commute, which immediately saves me 3 hours of my time and $5K just on my train ticket alone * I don't have to spend a lot of money on my wardrobe * While this personally doesn't affect me, for many, the ability to not be tied to the city in which your office is located means you save a ton of money. I know co-workers who have left the city. I know some who have left the country! Adding bean bag chairs and coffee machines and trees in the middle of the building are great, but just from not having to commute and not having to live in an expensive city can save you as much as $20K a year or more. About two years ago, I programmed for a very famous company (Let's just say our previous president loved them) and the building was designed by a famous architect. It had an open botanical area where rain water would hit the plants and trees from the outside (even though it was inside). You could sit on the second floor and watch people running to catch the train while you worked. It had sleeping areas and sitting areas with palm trees. It had so much. You know where I did my work? At my desk! At the end of the day, at least for me, if I'm actually getting serious work done, I need 1. a desk, 2 a big monitor, 3. quiet/no distractions (unless I'm collaborating with someone).

Who actually wants to commute to work again 😂 You could paint the rainbow on a prison, it's still a prison. Library? It's called an eBook lol.

I love how social distancing is now out the window and workers will be on top of each other with those tiny desks. I hate whoever came up with those tiny desks. You should get your whatever degree you have revoked and be extradited.

BETC HAVAS in Brazil just opened a hybrid book shop, art gallery, coffee shop and restaurant open to general public but some places for employees only. There is also meeting room and a rooftop bar. It's very casual, placed at the most luxurious street in Brazil.

Open space is horror for those who actually try to focus and get the work done. The architects that draw such designs have absolutely no clue what the workers really need.

Too think they would pay employees more instead of all this gimmick.

@@M123Xoxo So, these companies should take the one-time office redesign fees, and use them to raise employee salaries across the board (which are NOT one-time). How much impact does that have on the average employee?

What the workers want is asense of fulfillment, job security, reduced mental stress, fixed working hours( no calls after these hours), better leadership, and feeling that they can climb up the ladder not stagnate and feel their education and capabilities are useless, if the training they have is not enough a way to improve upon that. And reasonable pay for the efforts and time they put in. (Not minimal wage -thats what they call corporate greed)

You need to focus more on building housing for your employees. Take the office space and make lofts from them. Daycare as well then you got something.

Severance Season 2 is looking fine

05:38 - 06:05 "...new concept, our employees have choices..." :) I see nothing which would differ from usual (not even very modern) office. Why it is presented like something innovative ?!

When associates can work remotely, why waste money that can be invested in customers and new businesses into the sunk costs of office space

Wonder why they needed inconvenient lockers on the end of rows...there should already be a locker per desk nearby...better to use that space to give more room per desk instead

Looks like a rebranding of most modern existing offices. You won't be chained to your cubical now, but fenced in by your neighbourhood.

I turned down a pay raise & promotion because it required me to give up telework. No amount of redesign can compete w a 30 second commute, working in my pajamas, not worrying about lunch theft, the option to either have complete silence or blast a podcast / music & enjoying the comfort of my emotional support puppy when I'm stressed. But the #1 perk of working from home is that I don't have to talk to people.

How many times do we have to tell you? Beech we ain't going back. No office renovations will change that.

Nothing can make me want to return to the office

Office employees do about 3hrs of work when they’re in the office, filling the rest of their time with busy work. At home they do the same amount but finish before lunch so they can golf for the rest of the day.

This just looks like the layout at Intel with more color. If we have another pandemic and we will, disease will spread throughout this environment like wildfire, with workspaces so small and people so close to each other. Besides at home you have more privacy, something this designer basically forgot. You can’t work in glassed in areas all the time, we used to call them Fish Bowls and you had to get on the schedule to use one.

I’ll go back into the office when my company provides amenities like Google, Meta, and Apple. Free food, massage therapists, gyms, and sleep pods are a few top of mind.

You aren't tested until a company you own and believe in is down 30-40-50% from its highs. You will question your conviction, your strategy, your process. The market has a way of finding your breaking point. Nothing tests your conviction like falling stock prices

Open concept work areas are the worst. It’s over stimulating and you feel mentally exhausting at the end of the day. You could do the same exact work from home and not feel that drained. Give people their own office with a door and they might come in.

would be better to just downsize to an office at a suitable size for the portion of employees who do want to come into the office instead. would likely save money that way. maybe find a way to use that extra space for something else that might bring in some revenue instead. depending on the building maybe you could design it into a shared workspace, retail space, or depending on the initial design of the building maybe you can convert it to residential. probably won't work for building like what Google has though.

Leadership team that approved that “redesign” of the offices has to be removed, they stick to the idea that work must happen inside an office, a proof that old dog doesn’t learn new tricks, a lot of them in this case

Oh hell no I’m happy working from home and I’ve been doing that way before the pandemic so not really interested in going into a square space to smell coworkers bad morning breath

An introvert was not involved in this design and concept.

I will never want to go back to office, even though they pay me more money.

I think hybrid and smaller offices are the way to go. Even as an introvert, I need some IRL human interaction. Perhaps I’m the anomaly here but I live alone in a big city with very few close friends. Most of my periphery friends moved out of the city during the pandemic or moved on with their lives (aka children). I’ve only lived in this city for 5 years and 2 years of that was the pandemic. I have been unemployed for half of this time, which has made sustaining friendships difficult as usually my friendships came through my jobs. It’s also harder to make new friends in my mid 30s. Dating has been harder now that I’m older. It’s just way too lonely to work remotely 100% of the time. Plus my upstairs neighbor is noisy af. That said, I only go into the office once a week at present which is enough for me. And I don’t need any fancy office design. Just something quiet and not distracting will do. But also not bleak.

I get more done when I work from home. However, I like the office because I get to socialize and blow off steam. My company says we’re less productive at home which is ridiculous and it is actually the opposite. The people who took multiple jobs working from home ruined the idea for the rest of us. I would prefer a hybrid model or leaving it up to the employee

Where is the logic in thinking that bringing people who are telling you in plain damn English "They want to work from home" to work is the answer??? Even increasing salaries is failing to outweigh the benefits of working from home period. No if and or maybes. We do not want to work from your premises the end. No negotiating or fancy furniture.

They make it look like an apartment bedroom.

If anything I feel like I could be a rich business space designer, it looks like giving the company what they want and not what the employees want

Basically you said that working from home is better with good design which you took 5 company intros. I get the marketing game you are playing. But at least make it a habit of including 2 or 3 new and up and coming companies to help the poor and willing. Not the guy who designed the google studio

So they built a WeWork lmfao

You think offices are overrated? How do you think people build new relationships and get promotions. It is all in person.

I’m all about collaborating with my team when working in-office. But it’s possible for the open office concept to go too far, which in my experience, it has. It’s a recipe for major distraction and compromising confidential information. Corporate leadership seems to follow fads. Right now, that fad is the open office.

One thing more which could be added to such World Class models is the Retiring Zone with proper beds, which in my opinion is one of the driving force behind the Hybrid Mode since most employees have got used to of it while wrkngfh, it would enable employees to work more efficiently . In this way they could stay upto late night too if Needed!

Our office hasn’t changed. Return to the office has been suggested, it’s been insisted we should come in for cultural reasons. Well, when you come, those same people who say that are just attending virtual meetings behind a closed door.

I'll never go back into an office. Could I please waste 2hrs commuting just so I can work on top of people I don't like, in dress clothes, and spending money on gas and food. Sure sign me up!
