Hi! Actually I lumped in cubicles with open offices as being the same thing. I've worked in both! I'll try to be careful with my words here: So I found no difference in my actual happiness or well being such. I do agree that having a 'home' in an office is important - and a cubicle you can call your own and decorate is something... Totally agree that open plan noisy offices are a nightmare! Hot-desking is another level of hell again! All things considered I dont have poisitve views of any office situation based on my now >25years of experience! (damn, has it been that long...) But I appreciate that some people do. So thats just me :-) These days I get to work from my home office with my wife and it's great! :-)

Coming from this direction, especially for deep work, I think the corporate choices of offices have failed so spectacularly that the current Immovable Wall of people who refuse to go off remote is one sign of inevitable fallout from chronic, multi-generational mistreatment. I count myself as one of them. Having thrown off multiple jobs that tried to reduce me to mindless peon, I find that the attempt to force me into their paradigm is explosive and will only explode more in the future. Via me, or the countless others who see, agree, and comment on this and other threads like it. Revolutions don't have to be noisy :)

Well, yes, I have to agree there. Cubicles are only nice by comparison with an open office. The best office I’ve had was one where we had a real room for every 4 people or so (and 20+sqm per room).
