And I agree with whomever you quoted here: "They are bound to make an oppressive and dispiriting environment for desk and screen-bound clerical and production workers." I worry about the morale of the building on a personal level and for everyone around me. My own space on the second floor seems to be under constant renovation, I recently lost 2 feet of my cubicle space as we squeezed in two more producers, and now I hear we are going to be moved around to somehow accomodate the new two hour Arts show on Radio 2 (5-6 new people currently being squished into the training area on the 2nd floor until their new space 'is ready' ). Just from these kind of moves which are essentially moving around in the same space, the amount of frustration generated would hardly seem worth it. I can't imagine what will happen the day they announce that the studios are all moving to B2 and Radio1 is moving to B1 in order to be closer to the Studios. Call me oracular, but that is my prediction within my career-lifetime at the CBC.
