Because the best performing employees will leave for more money in other remote roles, dumping a ton of work on the remaining workers who are either a) mediocre, or b) incompetent extroverts who can't wait to spend all day talking about fantasy football with a captive audience.
Captive audience because they’re trapped in the office with them.
Trapped in an "open collaborative space", yes.
Ugh. If I need to collaborate with my colleagues, I'll visit their office; I don't need (or want) to hear every phone call they make or their music escaping their headphones.
I cannot stress enough how much I hate open plan offices and am so glad I do not work in one.
