    It kind of depends on the job and the size of the company. My father was an engineer and spent time in offices and open floors full of drawing tables. The small companies could accommodate offices, but that was too hard to pull off with larger companies.

    I remember some old offices buildings at MS where they tried to give everyone a little baby office, and it was actually pretty depressing and weird.

    A lot of offices didn’t, and some still don’t, consider the design of the floor plan. You’d end up with beige cubes filling most of the floor, with no little chill spots to break out and collaborate.

    IMHO, a good floor plan has some areas for people to hide and focus, some comfortable areas to collaborate outside of a conference room, and some areas to recharge.

    Gen X in their 20s: “Fuck these soulless cubicles.”

    Gen X in their 40s: “We’re the boss now. Kill the cubicles. Open floor plan.”

    Millennials in their 20s: “Fuck this distracting open floor plan.”

    Millennials in their 40s: “I’m the boss now. Kill the open floor plan. Cubicles.

    “Half a century” is the big challenge in that sentence. The Manhattan project started in 42 and Japan was bombed in 45.

    They also had near slips with the press and foreign espionage happening within the project. That would’ve been real tough to keep secret from the public for decades.

    It’s not the size of the organization, it’s the size of the team with a particular piece of information, and the monetary or moral pressure to release a particular piece of information.

    Also, the NSA famously has had leakers. The biggest and most notable being Snowden in 2013.

    If you’ve ever tried to coordinate more than 50 people to do a thing, you quickly realize why people refer to management and leadership jobs as “herding cats.”

    If someone gave me the option of faking the moon landing or going to the moon, I’d gladly strap a submarine to a missile.

    It be fucking impossible to coordinate hundreds of people on the world’s biggest secret, then make them and their families abide by media training for half a century.
