The funny thing is that a lot of these startups give out a Bose noise cancelling headphones along with the onboarding. I have really good hearing, so loud clapping for example will make me cower. Listening to background discussions in startups is quite literally physically torturing to me.



Bose headphones are a lot cheaper than the extra floor(s) they'd need to rent to give everyone an office


This is a statement with no data behind it. At least some people don't think there's any cost difference.

Also, building owners are getting so desperate for tenants they'd probably cut you a good deal if you needed more space instead of less.


But according to the article it's not actually that much more expensive to give everyone an office.
