Last week IBM announced that it is eliminating employees' ability to work remotely, and indicated that if they did not move back to mother headquarters they could expect a pink slip and should work elsewhere. This move by IBM is in stark contrast to the era of the remote workplace, and for those who do trek to the office, most companies have moved to open floor plan, arguing that it is more efficient and employees are more apt to collaborate.

Well that paradigm is also under siege. In today's Wall Street Journal there was an article indicating that open floor plans are not working out so well for the boss, or for that matter, his or her employees. Having the boss sitting next to you is often distracting and intimidating, and for the boss it is noisy and precludes quiet time and the ability to think. Most bosses want and need their space, so many stuck with the open floor plan are constructing “man caves” providing the ability to withdraw from the proletariat and get some work done.

So much for egalitarian ways.
