I think the bigger problem is most working environments are not conducive to productivity or pleasant places to be.

You see awesome offices in places like Google, Facebook et al where workers have plenty of space around their desk, and other areas in the building where they can work/socialise/relax.

Unfortunately most businesses are not like that, they cram as many people as they can into vast open plan offices where desk space is at a premium and you can forget having a quiet space to work.



I don't work in a "Google-style" office, but I'm not stuck in an open plan office, either. I have a spacious (for a cube) cube, but it's not quiet, at least not when certain folks are in the office, which is all too frequent.
