Some companies choose an open plan office as they want to have more transparency within it's walls.
My company believes in that. We have rows and rows of work stations and no one gets a room, even the MD or CEO.
But we do have rooms albeit with glass walls. Again, to promote transparency.
But I don't think it works. Sometimes, there are phone calls one needs to make which you don't want the world to know about. Or sometimes a boss needs to reprimand a subordinate and that should be done in private. Or HR needs to have a meeting to talk about salary or n employee's performance.
So now instead of ensuring nothing is hidden, every time someone goes into the glass rooms and especially if they look grim, people start speculating what's going on.
I don't think it works at all.
