Even office rooms within the building, called “pods,” have glass for walls. However, all the glass may have contributed to the employees’ disorientation.
It’s unclear how many foreheads have left imprints on the glass surfaces, but the issue has become so commonplace that employees would place post-its to remind people where doors were.
