I personally know of a Fortune 500 (non-tech) company who went to the open/shared-space concepts earlier this year.  Six months in, they polled the employees about positive/negative reactions to the new office, and as expected, it fell completely along generational lines. 

Unexpectedly, it was the older employees (who were initially the most opposed) who were raving about it, and the younger employees (who were initially all for it) are the ones now railing against it.

So while we have all of these studies and experts showing us how Millennials eschew tradition and crave public, shared, collaborative work environments, still remaining is the mentality of "office = achievement" ingrained into our society, and of course, we all know that there's nothing that Millennials crave more than public displays of their own accomplishments.

If we don't have offices and privacy, how will we Millennials be able to hide our laziness?
