I&#x27;ve been in multiple open office plans in my short career and there is a definite divide between open office. My current office is spacious, lot&#x27;s of cupboards in between work places and has a ton of meeting rooms (which can&#x27;t be reserved but are used &quot;ad-hoc&quot;).<p>My previous open office plan was a fully booked, over crowded space with too little meeting rooms. This means that 1. There are more people in the same amount of space and 2. meetings happen at desks because there is no place to go to talk privately.<p>If you use an open office to create more communication in the office whilst at the same time putting the workers comfort first it is an amazing tool. But it&#x27;s misused to put more people in smaller spaces.
