`If you want bigger cultural diversity just treat everyone equally?`

As a brief thought experiment for you:

- You have one pool of workers who work well in an environment with ambient noise and distractions

- You have a second pool of workers who need quiet spaces to concentrate

You treat them all equally by placing them in an open plan office with an excellent office-wide Spotify playlist.

Do you think you'll end up with both pools being proportionally represented?



Except, you have a third pool who is afraid of being oppressed from fellow workers, so you allow them to stay at home. Which is not smart.
