Interesting the original article about the parking place. I joined DEC in 1979, in the Rheinestrasse in Munich. There was limited underground parking. But we had a first come first served. we them moved to DEC park which had an open plan system. initially, no private offices. Lots of meeting rooms. there was a migration to private offices for the "big" managers who wished to talk without being overheard and were too "lazy" to move to a closed room... smiley face intended..
