Not only *zero* privacy, but *far* too much noise and distraction to concentrate. I remember working at the Scummy Mortgage Co (name available upon request) many years ago, with five desks, and the sr programmer and the analyst on the phone 60% or 70% of the time. I had a tape player, to listen to some training tapes; when I'd finished them, I put in some music. My boss came by, asked if I was done the training, and I told him I had music on, to make it easier to concentrate and increase my productivity. He told me to take them off and increase my productivity. Open-plan office, *crap*. Do the managers or execs work in them, too? mark
