Do people (the workers) actually hate cube farms? Between open floors and your own cubicle, I'd take a cubicle every time.
I thought open floors only became a thing because companies realized they can save money and workers would put up with it, which doesn't seem to be wrong.
- bombcar 4y agoOh open floors is even worse. The best is tiny little rooms - offices. Cube farms at least you can customize and claim “your space”.
- scarface74 4y agoYes. I still hear other people talking. Either give me an office or let me WFH.
- hnzix 4y agoAt least give me a high partition so I don't have to watch my cow orker sloppily eating food with their mouth open and gesticulating wildly all day. I can put on noise cancelling headphones but I can't visually block out physical shenanigans, my monkey brain is tracking for threats.
- scarface74 4y agoNoise cancelling headphones will help ambient noise. But it won’t help when you are being actively interrupted for “just one question”. When I’m at home, I can block time on my calendar for “deep work”, shut down Outlook and Slack. I set my Slack status to “doing deep work until X:00”
