That negates the whole point of the article (well, headline) for me.<p>You didn&#x27;t stop having an office. You just realised you could save money by sending the few guys using your office to a shared space.<p>I think I&#x27;d be a bit miffed if I was a non-office employee there - suddenly the old &#x27;office guys&#x27; are getting this &#x27;team perk&#x27; that doesn&#x27;t apply to me.<p>It would be more in the spirit of the whole &#x27;openness&#x27; thing to say &quot;here&#x27;s $X, spend it on office space, coffee, whatever to improve whatever working environment you choose&quot;.
