Uggh, really? If GE Digital is going to blindly follow the open floor plan movement, even after the all the measurements have found that productivity decreases in such an environment amongst other ills, I have to wonder how successful GE as a company will be at transforming into a cutting edge 21st century company. Blindly following the herd, particularly after the herd has found that the pastures are barren, is utter stupidity.
