Open offices are fad, nothing more. And no CEO wants to be the last one to adopt the fad. Worst of all,
they don't work. Period.
In most of those open plan shops, everyone wears headphones or earbuds all day. And nobody talks to anyone else, because they're all desperate for quiet and calm.
As a side effect of the lack of privacy, the shitter stalls in bathrooms were always full. And you never smelled shit, which is a dead giveaway. They weren't shitting. They were texting, or reading email, or otherwise fucking around on their phones. If you actually had to take a shit, it wasn't uncommon for it to take 1/2-hour just to find an open stall. I always headed for the 5th floor because it was predominantly women who worked on that floor.
