Cube farms of the 80's/90's were the worst. Cube etiquette was in its infancy. Loud talkers, ice chewers, farters, snifflers, oversharers, too much A/C, too little A/C, awful ergonomics, 6'x4' compressed cubicles, shared cubicles. Then there was the crappy cafeteria food, enormous parking lots with 15 minute walks to your car if you showed up after 8am, ... oy.
- bootlooped 5y agoBut didn't they make the office even worse by going from cubicle to open office? Often less space per person, less privacy, noise travels further, visual distractions, etc...
- mng2 5y agoYeah, I never expected to feel nostalgic for cubes.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoYeah, that happened. It went from your own tiny cube to an open space with no guaranteed seating. I had already stopped decorating my cube way before this trend, but it seems even more shitty. I am really glad I've been working remotely for the past decade. I have no idea what new offices are like (left offices in 2012).
