I'm old enough to remember cubicles that had noise absorbing walls. Idk who thought open offices with hard reflecting surfaces was a good idea.

Managers who thought a panopticon was the best way to organize.

In a previous job, the manager had a low horizontal slit window in his office that allowed him to watch everybody in the open office from a seating position.
