Actually, cubicles are a good thing.
- nerdponx 10y agoAgreed, there is nothing as distracting to me as an open floor plan. I take every opportunity to work at home that I can get, because my productivity is so much higher when I am out of the office.
- thesimpsons1022 10y agodepends who you work with. I've been working with really immature loud new grads at my current company and the open floor plan is awful. I just want to work and they yell across the room to talk.
- nerdponx 10y agoI really only have one coworker like this. It's more that I get easily distracted myself, so if I have nowhere to hide from distractions I will be affected by them. I don't usually do well listening to music and working at the same time, so headphones don't help either
- friendlygrammar 10y agobetter than open floor plan sure. I'd still prefer something that doesn't have my back out facing the open. I think there are multiple studies that show that sitting with your back facing away from people causes significant anxiety.
- billmalarky 10y agoI'm torn. Cubicles lead to higher productivity, but lower quality of work-life (in my opinion). I really like my coworkers.
- gaius 10y agoCubicles for 4 people, with high partitions.
- billmalarky 10y agoSounds perfect (for me). Well, small glass offices instead of cubicles, with million dollar views of course.
