"I'm perfectly happy in my large, quiet office, sitting in my $2000 executive chair in front of my mahogany desk and using my private executive bathroom. I don't know what these people on the fourth floor are complaining about. We give them cubicles and a ping-pong table (do not use during work hours), don't we?"
Cubicles? In this economy?
Cubicles break things up. To maximize synergy we need an open floor plan so everyone can hear and see everyone else.
I've never been so angry reading something I had to go through at 3 different jobs.
To maximize efficiency we cannot have the cubicle walls potentially blocking the path of the farts and sneezes they must all breathe in. Every fart and sneeze must be fully breathed in by staff to cut down on cleaning costs!
Now they're all about open floor plans for collaboration (read: for squeezing more people in the same space).
Worked at 3 of them that did that. Worst working environmentsever. Current one is experimenting with it, but I'm WFH all the time so I just made it known I never want that.
Sometimes you have to give them a little extra to make them more productive. It's okay, we found a loophole in accounting so it's a write-off.

And we had our yearly cook out last month!
