The open-plan office is dead, long live the plexiglass work panopticon

Don’t just hope something better comes along. Actively look for another job. When my job switched to open-plan (and did other shenanigans that amounted to a decrease in pay), I started applying elsewhere. It was tricky for a while, but after 6 months I found another job paying 20% more. Right now, if you’re WFH, it’s easier than ever to do phone interviews in the middle of the day. I had to have a lot of “doctor’s appointments” to take calls in private.
