Just this morning, my firm moved its office and now my team is in adjacent cubes instead of an open bullpen, and I was quite surprised at my own excitement to finally have a cube again. Semi-privacy! A noise barrier! But there are really more choices, and I feel the article continues to push this false dichotomy: <i>"What workers need from their offices has long been clear. A flexible workspace that encourages movement, combined with mobile technology, could finally liberate them from the cubicle farm"</i> Is that really what we need? Is there really anyone who prefers either of these choices over a private office, with ample meeting rooms and conference tables when there need to be group discussions?
