Office layouts

What is the comfiest office layout?

Everyone gets their own room?

Private offices for every developer, with doors that shut.

Fuck your cube farm. Fuck your bullpen. And double-fuck your open layout.

>>>/crypto/

/ based/ as fuck.

I don't even work in an office and this one makes the most sense to me. I don't understand how everyone doesn't do this. It doesn't have to be a gigantic office per person, but a private closable door makes it so people don't feel like property.

I worked remote for several years, it's great. But, there's "optics." It's hard to make connections and get promoted. If that's yr jam, do though, I loved it.

>offices
>developers
Incorrect, user. Developers should be able to work from home.

The motivation behind open layouts is so bosses can constantly keep an eye on you.

>people don't feel like property
Under capitalism, you ARE your boss' property, user.

You shouldn't get promoted because of connections anyway. You should be awarded promotions thanks to merit.

anything but this startup bullshit

start ups should happen in a cold dank basement anyway until they hit the kicksharter lottery and can afford a building and a guy to actually plan the office

So many cables! If only they used Macs like any decent startup...

I hate open offices like pic related but they're an evil necessity in 2018.
You can thank smart phones and pornography for the open office system.
People have become like animals now, they can't even go to work without having to watch degenerate pornography at some point because they're so habituated to getting off. You think I'm joking but even surveys show an alarming number of men doing it. This costs more than a "smoke break" which actually increases performance because nicotine is a cognitive enhancer. Masturbation and sex, dull the mind. Anti dopamine hormone prolactin increases for a few hours after orgasm. I can always tell whenever someone has morning sex or jacks off before work, they can't converse as well and lack spoteniaty. They'll still perform menial tasks but if want them to learn anything or do anything it's worthless.

If you ignore the Indians, there's something comfy about this. Maybe it's just the blue color.

>idiot """"supervisor"""" micromanaging behind her back thinking he knows everything

Fuck that bullshit. Imma remote!

>so the boss would keep an eye on you
Don't hire people if you don't trust them period.

>I can always tell whenever someone has morning sex or jacks off before work
Sure you can, Sherlock.

>Don't hire people if you don't trust them
Capitalism is inherently competitive, user. There can be no trust.

I like our layout, eventually we'll get endcap walls for each pod which will be nice.

Ever since I started working on an open office I work half the hours because of all the distractions and get sick at least times each winter.
At least I'm not American and get sick leave.

What the actual fuck.

>those brown stains on the blue and all that dirt everywhere

fuck, I try not to buy into the indian Jow Forums bullshit but why is literally every picture i see of india fucking filthy and disgusting?

what a literal shithole

Filename should be "Dell tech support".

>That one guy in the black hoodie doing the work of a whole department whilst they mill about doing nothing.

This, why the fuck are open layout offices still common? It's a company, not a school.

>You shouldn't get promoted because of connections anyway. You should be awarded promotions thanks to merit.

Nice fantasty land, fucking cuck-baby.

Damn I could smell the searing tension over here

Oh hey I've been there.

Place in OPs pic is actually pretty good. There are closed offices available along the outside for 1-3 people if you don't want to be in the more open area. And the height of the dividers is just tall enough that you don't get distracted by movement in your peripheral vision but low enough that you can see if someone's in or not; also makes it real easy to jump on in if people are going to go for a walk or go out for lunch.

The problem with offices is people end up fucking off more and it is more expensive to do. Some jobs - namely low level programming gigs common here - you can measure progress directly with some output metrics, but generally companies also need people building relationships for the company and doing all kinds of stuff that isn't easy to measure. On top of that there is the communication factor.

I'm mixed on it, I just got my own office last year but because of my work I need a locking door for security so that's the only reason. It has advantages but I feel more disconnected.

Why do half of them look like they want to kill themselves and the other half look like they want to kill everyone else

thanks... was looking for this

Pao-era reddit

My office is a fucking undemocratic joke. Sales people and top managers get individual office w/sliding glass doors and always the newest Macs and Laptops. Operations scrubs like me sit in an open cattle enclosure with 5 desks mashed into one room, hand me down computers and cheap ass Ikea furniture. I think I;m going to lead a Marxist revolution in my office.

This is actually horrible idea. For some people it's great because they are more productive when they aren't distracted but then you have plenty of employees who are the exact opposite and will be lazy as fuck and get nothing done when no one can see what they are doing.

This is why most businesses only give private offices to respected employees that have been there for awhile and basically know they aren't going to fuck up.

How the fuck do these ceiling are suported? I start believing these images are fake, the forces at the centwr of the room without pillars must be massive.

They really do, but at least i'm not stuck at some shitty startup that makes you sit in a row with nothing to separate you.

That picture is from a movie, don't take it literally.

Easy solution: hire women

look at the cube in the middle with no entrance

Women do not work as well as men, especially men who don't defile themselves during the daytime hours. A man in control of his senses is someone with focus.

It's from the original Tron movie

Bigass pit where everyone is shoulder to shoulder with close friends. That's how Rare did it, though if you aren't friendly with eachother I doubt it'd go well

What is a man at work?
It's just an emotionally impaired butch lesbian without a period but with a huge sense of entitlement.

Hire lesbian.

You've clearly never talked to a real butch lesbian considering they are the most narcissistic annoying cunts ever.

Exactly

>The problem with offices is people end up fucking off more
yeah but all the directors and executives get offices. somehow this isn't a problem for them. fuck off and stop rationalizing your shit position faggot

You don't just get some random off the street or straight from college as a director or exec. The difference here is they almost certainly spend years building up trust and respect or have a damn good resume with references to back them up warranting the position and office.

You don't just join a company as a nobody and expect people to give your own room as if you were at home with your parents.

This actually looks cozy as fuck if everyone's friendly. I think I'd be able to write a ton of great code in that environment

Yeah except engineers don't get a path like that anywhere - stay 5+ years, contribute a lot, still just an engineer

Naw they should all have a decent desktop computer, or at least a second screen to hook on the laptop. Working all day on a laptop is awful on the fingers and neck.

with that hard floor and all the hard surfaces I bet its noisy as fuck in there

I don't get all the Pao hate. I would lick her asshole clean on a moments notice

that looks like a horrible place to work in

India seems like a cool place until you have to work with the people.

You can tell who has worked with Indians and who hasn't. The people who don't have that experience are still naive and think Indians are just like Americans. Anyone who has worked with Indians develops a distaste for them.

It was all just astro-turfing false flags. Artificially created drama to bring more traffic to Reddit and make users feel like they are significant.

Same with Japan, to be honest

average Jow Forums user's setup

Our company just moved to a new building and the majority of people are in the open concept. They hate it.

Yup, this is how the trading floor looks where I work, minus the traders on the phone shouting and swearing and smashing shit up.

This actually looks the comfiest of all if you're not an autistic sperg.

Why would you promote a productive engineer? Management positions are for dullards who can't engineer.

Do people get sick more often in these open plan offices? I'd think if one person got sick everyone around them would?

Bend over a desk

seriously open office meme needs to die. i want to watch anime in peace

the color of the floor makes me sick.

kind of comfy

it's just a building on the shoreline

At least the chairs look comfy.

Why do some get two screens and some don't?

>sitting so close to coworkers that you can reach over and touch them

I have worked for 2 japanese companies and in general i like all the japanese people.

except for the one who became our new boss and looked like a direct descendant of general Tojo, that guy was an ass and likely decended from a war criminal

This lol

Laziest bitch in my office always insists on having her back to the wall so nobody can see her screens

Once she had to sit with her back to the hallway, so she built a fort out of room partitioners behind her

not as bad as if there was a work oegy

its natural to not want to have your back to people, just saying. i personally am vastly more productive when i can concentrate also, so lots of people talking in the same room as me kills me

It's painted on the back wall

nice view but this is a disaster waiting to happen

Sure do.

Worst thing is sanitizing your keyboard & mouse every time a greasy co-worker touches it.

>blames the brand of computers for the amount of cables and lack of cable management...

If only they used PC:s with docking stations, that would actually solve the problem.

Looks like it could be fun, also looks like it could give me cancer.

> trying to convince us chip board is cool

Sounds like to me they are doing drugs at work yet you think it's masturbating hahaha

None of that open BS or rotating spots like VU does

Can confirm, my sister is a psycho butch lesbo and the entire family hates her, not because she’s gay, but because she always has to be the center of attention and keeps borrowing/spending money from family
