> The great part was everyone had offices or at least cubicles. No "open floor plan" BS. There was no scrum or daily standup. Weekly status report was all that was needed. There was no way to work when you're not at work (no cell phone, no internet), so there was better work-life balance. Things are definitely much worse now in these regards. FWIW I have had all of these at every place I've worked, including my current job. Places like that are out there. If you're unhappy with your current job, there's never been a better time to move.
