I would invite you to revisit that assumption. Offices are made to FEEL productive.
Who decides on getting an office? All the research shows that open spaces are a huge fad and make people on average less productive (for work that require deeper stretch of concentration).

I am missing those things but as you said yourself they are AFTER WORK
You are making my point. If offices were made to be productive, open offices would NOT be a thing.
The fact that companies still pay $$$ for an office in the bay area is for management purposes and making sure that employees are "buts in seats" for 40+ hours a week
