Sure, a private office is quite uncommon. But I don&#x27;t see how you can criticize the author for a &quot;highly developed sense of entitlement&quot; in pointing out the shortcomings of open office plans and then making suggestions for both reducing the drawbacks and to encourage employers to allow more people to work from home.<p>Honestly, it sounds like sour grapes on your part:<p><pre><code>  Driven by distraction, a freelance copywriter asked for
  a private office but was denied one, although he made a
  compelling case for the increased productivity. As he 
  went away, the copywriter remarked &#x27;Oh, private offices
  are for people suffering from highly developed senses of
  entitlement! I don&#x27;t know anybody who has one.&#x27; 
  People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot
  attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.
