#2Forget valuations, perhaps the best sign of a bubble is when satire begins to resemble reality.....
"The CEO will prod creativity with a designated creativity prod."

#3The text in the article could use its own open floor plan, so it isn't smothered by blank walls.

#9Open floor plan mimicry is a physical equivalent to those management bibles read, or at least propped on the desks, by management.
Take successful company, ignore the root causes and context ov their success, and mimic those things they did and used during their successful run because transplanting those wholesale without much thought or understanding should definitely result in our own success, or, in the least, we did something different to try to succeed. And if we failed, well, we just didn't try hard enough. Obviously there wasn't enough buyin.
It could be time to overhaul the team with new members who don't have the baggage of how it was before and start anew.

What if we collage ALL employee desktops up on several projectors so we can see them all at once. Then throughout the day a (or a few) main projector brings up random / important ones for easier viewing.
Kind of like a sports bar, but for spying on people's desktops.
