You left a job that gave you a cubicle? Man, I'd kill for a job that gave me a damned cubicle instead of a cacophonous open office... but sadly there are none

You left a job that gave you a cubicle? Man, I'd kill for a job that gave me a damned cubicle instead of a cacophonous open office... but sadly there are none left except for the one you just gave up.
- wyldfire 7y agoI work in an office (it's around 8x15', shared w/one other dev). I realize that my position is very atypical, but certainly some jobs w/cubes likely exist.
- codeislife 7y ago- A regular job with presumably a decent pay (he was able to save enough to become freelancer indie game developer for several years). - A full private desk. It is funny how someones prison can be someone else palace. Best of luck on your game development career.
- aliswe 7y agoIt seems he was destined for something greater.
- bbayer 7y agoHallway and cubicle just make me think that probably he works for an established defence company.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoSadly I have to agree. In the age of open offices where free-range chickens have more space than us, that bit of privacy goes a long way.
- adamredwoods 7y agoI just want a stable, sustainable job.
- alfromspace 7y agoIt's interesting to see people pining for cubicles. It feels like yesterday when cubicles were looked at as the ultimate symbol of corporate dullness and soul-suckery. If only we knew how much worse it could get.
- neilv 7y agoThat low-wall cube with the open end is still nicer than almost all employer-provided workspaces I've seen recently. (And, speaking as something of an expert on cubicle fine living, I instantly see, in that photo, a dozen potential aesthetic and ergonomic improvements, which would make it even better.)
- wildrhythms 7y agoI've worked in an open office plan in various different offices and I vastly prefer it. I value being able to wave at my colleague to ask them a question. I value people not feeling interruptive when they approach me at my desk. I value the transparency of it all. We would even shuffle the desks (using a random algorithm) every quarter so people could have new neighbors (this was my favorite part, although I still consider myself an introvert). I'd rather be exposed at my desk than isolated in a tiny cube any day. (This is not sarcasm, I've worked in these spaces for 3 years and I enjoy discussion about open office spaces.)
