I’ll take a regular cubicle at this point. The thought of returning to long rows of desks crammed right next to each other is causing some real psychological dread.
- geodel 6y agoWell the war on work from home is now peaking. We just had announcement to be back at office desk by June.
- ashtonkem 6y agoJust got that too. I’ve had an open “you’ll have to fire me first” position on the matter.
- tweetle_beetle 6y agoFunny how things change. Cubicles were the poster child for dystopian corporate office environments in the 90s. And "office landscapes" were a know humanistic take on open plan developed in 50s and 60s as a response to rows of desks in the open plan offices of the pre-war period [1]. I quite like the idea of the library model - all communal space is quiet by default with many small rooms for and hoc discussion. It would take serious will to introduce it in most offices though.

- jjav 6y agoIt's sure is a sign of the horrors of open offices when cubicles, the original terrible workplace, is now the good old times we miss! But, agreed. Even cubicles (with at least 5ft walls), while terrible, are 1000x better than the dreadful open office.
