Where does this come from? It's something that sounds right, but then I look back at my parent's office jobs and pop culture from 20+ years ago and it doesn't line up. Open office spaces have been extremely common for a very very long time, with private offices reserved for higher level people.
- xtracto 3y agoBack in 2008 i worked at a Leibnitz institute in germany. First as a Wissenschafter and then as a Koordinator. In the first case I shard a closed door office with one other person. Each of us had a large desk, bookcase and great space. In the second case I had my own office with my own desk and even a table with two chairs for receiving people. I was pretty low in the institute food chain. Only the PhD students were lower, and they shared 2 or at most 3 person closed door offices . Its perfectly doable.
