Bloomberg's plan to turn the East Room into cubicles? Not the Onion...

Link to tweet

Mike Bloomberg ✔ @MikeBloomberg

As president, I'll turn the East Room into an open office plan, where I’ll sit with our team.

I’ll use the Oval Office for some official functions – never for tweeting – but the rest of the time, I’ll be where a leader should be: with the team. http://politi.co/2tbPhLl

I’m not sure if some of the modern perks like game rooms are part of the Bloomberg style. Open spaces certainly are. So are free commissary’s.
