Open office space: collaborative for pathogens!

I've recently been working with my old friend Rick Lambright at Motiga since they moved to an office with a couple of semi-private offices as well as their open style space they've used in the past.



The last couple of weeks there's been a respiratory bug (or two) going around the office .. and it seemed to be hitting the people sitting out in the open space harder than us in the private spaces.

It turns out it's not just us: recent research shows workers in open office are sick more often than those of us working in private spaces!

Hurray for Motiga for being willing to accommodate those of us who don't want to sit in wide open offices; this looks like just one more data point that should lead them to be fading from the office scene ...
