open space, fine, and we can probably give you a raise due to the space savings. But you better match private-office productivity. Or for the guy who needs privacy, maybe he foregoes a raise the next year to pay for it. Fine.
Don't understand why companies can't be flexible and match employee needs on a case basis, rather than "one-size-fits-all". So tired of that mentality. Such a low-productivity approach to the workspace.
