I also think the type of cube makes a difference. I currently work in a cube with high walls (at least 12 inches higher than my head when seated) and somehow the psychological effect of that is much better than a low cube where you're staring in someone else's face all the time.
- eckza 11y agoAbsolutely, I'd lose my entire mind if I could see over my cube walls.
- timrichard 11y agoMy last office stint was open-plan with lockers and hotdesking. Absolutely despised by the developers; we would have been ecstatic with cubes.
- jtymes 11y agoYeah, we have "high" cubicle walls, but the last 12" is glass which defeats the purpose. I face a walkway and people's heads are in my view as they pass, which can be incredibly distracting. We get a lot of natural light this way which can be great, except when the sun rises right into your eyes with no way to block it.

- mathgeek 11y agoYeah, but it's difficult to tape paper on everyone's face as they walk by.
- new_hackers 11y agoIf you started doing that I bet they'd start choosing another route. Problem solved!
- mathgeek 11y agoI like your attitude! If I ever go back to an office job, you can be my cubicle mate.
- Grishnakh 11y agoThe "low cube" you describe, to me, doesn't even qualify as a "cubicle". That's an "open work area" as far as I'm concerned.
- Grishnakh 11y agoI'd like to add to this that I had a setup like this not long ago, and it was awful. I got stuck in a "cubicle" with low walls right next to a busy corridor, so I had to look at every single person who walked by me in the face (in one direction at least). It was extremely distracting and annoying.
