Open office spaces are a drag for productivity. It’s super distracting, especially with all the foot traffic throughout the day and of course it’s true purpose is because it’s cheaper to throw up dry wall corridors than supply an actual office for employees. Stop with this innovation talk. Call it what it is. If open office space is so great than why do the higher ups get their own private office?
I dont think that is true, if you are in a cubic isolated, you might use part of your time for doing nothing because nobody is watching you. In Open Space if you have a doubt, you can ask and get an answer without leaving your desk. Of course we are talking about programming, in which everybody is focus in their own thing being quiet, no an call center.
@Samin Bhuiyan You are probably an older employee. They do this to attract younger workers. In my company, younger workers prefer open offices and older workers tend to want to have more privacy.
I'm really torn on open office designs because I recognize how important it is to remove distractions but I also see how being able to collaborate without friction is so useful. I sorta wish my company gave us laptops instead of desktops so I could easily move into a focus room to do my work more privately.
I remember exporting a PDF from photoshop once and try opening it with any other Adobe software. Didnt work : D I tried opening it with a FREE ONLINE pdf editor and it worked.
@@isse6790 Just use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and go to the windows settings _(assuming you're on Windows 10)_ and select Apps then scroll down a bit and select "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down till you find .pdf and choose Adobe Acrobat Reader DC instead of opening the web version.
I'm guessing the design, innovation, and mood talk are a cover for the actual purpose: Fitting more people into the same space. Office space is expensive, so if you can knock out moderate sized offices and replace them with claustrophobic cubicles then you've got a big win.
Yeah, you're both clueless. Adobe is building a second office. Google owns a small town. Facebook literally built a village. Open office space has nothing to do with space, it's entirely to encourage collaboration and (especially) coerce productivity. It's success is debateable, despite the most profitable tech giants implementing it. Either way, it ain't about space.
@@concept1027 thank you, I wanted to go and explain this to each person complaining without probably having open offices themselves. I actually love it too here at ANWB.nl where we use open offices to imporve collabs. I frequently stand up and ask something now, walk over or just grab a seat at our lunchroom or meetingrooms (with theme and all kinda like adobes rooms) and its super nice to 'pick a room'. It improves mood as Adobe lady said and improves collab/efficiency
Thank you very much adobe company. You are the reason why many of us are smiling and its through your wonderful and awesome softwares that some of us can manage to have food on our tables. God bless you so much Adobe.
How ironic is that the over compensation of efforts in having a polished and somewhat relatable character for a tour guide, they've reached uncanny valley vibes
Wow! It's so great! You can eat and workout and play at work. You never have to go home. You never need to go home. Please don't go home. You can't go home. Adobe is your abode. You live here now.
Open office is very problematic, especially for coding and brainstorming. Coz most of our times, we are actually brainstorming and coding, instead of "collaborating" or reaching out to others. If we need to talk to others, we can go to them. Rest of the time, it's really important to have a peaceful, calm and distraction-free private workspace, which open office doesn't provide. My office has a closed office structure (cubicles), and I use earphones all the time, still my efficiency increases significantly when everyone else leaves the room, and it becomes calm and peaceful. I have no idea who (and why) thought open office will be a good workspace for brainstorming!
did you WATCH instead of only listen? Those booths arent really enclosed booths where you could/should work. they were for fun open-ended meetings during lunch. My company ANWB does the same. its wonderful :-)
Black Vito - Moneyology it’s the most populated state so it attracts a lot of investment. It’s easier than making people move to another state although some companies are doing that too.
Institutional is exactly what Adobe is, other than a few little silos like xd. From the outside it feels like they aren’t a product company anymore, a bunch of people squeezing short terms gains out of the companies assets with complete disregard to long term user sentiment or eventual disruption.
I swear I’ve seen that lady in a movie. Like the devil wears Prada movie or something. The tied up hair, the jacket or shawl? Or whatever it is draped over her shoulder, the glasses, how she talks with her hands. I swear it’s from a movie.
Cubicles are the opposite of a great working environment - so many companies play at 'look how forward thinking we are', but when it really comes down to it, they think the only way people work properly is stuck in a box with as little human interaction as possible.
It seems like milking its customer base still holds strong. Not for too long, though. Competition is rising and slowly but steady they'll bleed customers. In a very right amount of red.

lol but so true
Dude, ever heard of pirating?

glad to see my monthly payment going towards glowing orb pods rather than them updating their software that still feels like its from 1990
if you stop paying, they'll start listening
it's a mistery how they are not making any development but yet "taking" a lot of money for years and years from users
@@dbsirius they're the best in the business though.
This is why Adobe charges so much money for their bloated software.
Then stop paying idiot
So this is what they’re doing with their ridiculously expensive subscriptions.

I feel myself stupid to pay for all those orbs.

Bro where can I get it
Give us a link or something
PLEASE GIVE ME THE LINK

I enjoyed the video!! Thanks WSJ and Adobe for opening your doors and letting me see the set up and work flow of ADOBE Headquarters!!;-)
is she a company tour robot? she sounds so robotic to me
Stereotypical
Her mic was definitely funny bc it would constantly go quieter as she finished her sentence. Makes her voice sound kind of reversed and robotic tbh
it's because this is scripted
How ironic is that the over compensation of efforts in having a polished and somewhat relatable character for a tour guide, they've reached uncanny valley vibes
I'd like to Thank Adobe, you've given the tools for us to create a lot of the beauty that exists today 🙂❤️
Right after she said it won’t agitate you, that scene at 1:20 is quite agitating imo
Was thinking the exact same thing
4:35 Audio make me sick
then you are sick
Wow! It's so great! You can eat and workout and play at work. You never have to go home. You never need to go home. Please don't go home. You can't go home. Adobe is your abode. You live here now.

Extroverts and HR Managers who wants to look at everyone with least amount of time.
Leftist Liberal Utopia people who want to impose their vision on everyone else.
Most people are extroverts is probably why
Your concept would only make a minority of staff productive
Really impressed working space. Pretty dope how the color theory is applied in all work spaces. Good video.
So they went from awesome, private offices to open desks that no one actually likes. Brilliant!
what if WSJ edited this on final cut?
"New generation need more open space" AND "these booths are so popular, that we had to make row of them" - do they even hear themself?
did you WATCH instead of only listen? Those booths arent really enclosed booths where you could/should work. they were for fun open-ended meetings during lunch. My company ANWB does the same. its wonderful :-)
@@lunaticz0r with that they delimiting space and "make row of them", isn't it opposed to open space they say "new generation need"?

Glad to see a company that cares for its employees!
Literally CANCELLED my Adobe cc in october SOOOOOOO GLAD I DID 😁 loads of cheaper & FREE software out there
This is why the software is now "leased" and instead of "sold" and priced to the heavens.
Imma be honest.. they could have done a better job
Well my Premier Pro CC is still crashing 🙄😤😤
And here I was thinking my subscription fees are too low! Not.

Saying "people really needed to be together" show they forgot about the introverts once again lol
I cancelled my Adobe subscription, they charged me a penalty, and I felt so liberated... Felt like i paid for my own bail.
what's wrong with sound and video stabilization ?
Paid for by your $999.99 yearly subscription
Wow, Adobe's campus is extravagant.
Watching this in 2024. This video was done before COVID. How many of these employees work from home full time now? How many got laid off?
Can I know about that 60 minute ideation process @adobe??? PLease share that chart from your discussion room
It should be that nice with my monthly subscription
Looked like that guy you were interviewing needed to take advantage of the fitness center.
Background music in the start,??
This aged beautifully.
Adobe, I get to use all of their software, Amazing
