How would you like to be sitting in an office where you can see everything the boss is doing? This is the case with US banking giant Citigroup which is not just opening the doors to a new HQ but removing them altogether! <\/p>\n

The bank is about to take the open office a stage further with its no-door design according to the Wall Street Journal. While open offices are more in line with what you might expect from the likes of Google and other trendy creative firms, this marks a significant departure for the more sober world of banking (though some might argue that creativity is alive and well in banking for better or for worse). <\/p>\n

CEO of Citigroup, Michael Corbat, will swap his current 600-square-foot office for a 360-square-foot office which doesn\u2019t have walls or a door. How is this possible? Well the walls are replaced with 7ft glass panels. <\/p>\n

Desks in the office won\u2019t be assigned either which might freak out anyone who likes to make desk space their own. <\/p>\n

With the current trend now moving towards a mix of spaces which people can make their own and also areas to collaborate, this extreme open-plan idea is pushing things in the wrong direction but maybe bankers will be happier keeping an eye on each other through the working day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
