Executive Pay is a Runaway Train

Office Design? It's Like Putting Lipstick on a Pig

Todd Leopold makes a decent effort to discuss office design in a 'Dilbert' world.  I nodded my head in agreement and got a good chuckle from some of his observations.  However, I just don't buy that this stuff truly moves the needle at all in terms of workplace success, creativity, or enjoyment.  Sure, all the new bells and whistles that come down the pike in office design and layout can contribute to office creativity and success.  And using an eye dropper can help you put out a grease fire on the stove too.
