"Offices will be reserved mainly for people who regularly have confidential conversations, like lawyers and top executives."
Apparently the average person doesn't want confidentiality for _all their_ conversations? This is insulting.
My building is being "remodeled" into less-than-cubicles. You know what doesn't work in an open office? Desktop computers. You know what we all work on? Desktop computers. They don't move!

"Another space saver has been getting people to work from home, a trend for years in corporate America."
Yes, they're forcing it on me. I cannot work productively from a laptop, I'm a systems developer. If I can't utilize an "open-office" space then I am forced to work from home. I wonder if that gets me to the level or IRS deductions? Ha!
