>Hundreds of cubicles — the spacious old-school kind with the high walls Remember when "cubicle" was a curse word? I long for those days of some measure of privacy, personalization capability of a space, and greater probability of focusing (i.e., being left alone a little bit longer). Open offices suck, and white noise generators make me want to die, some days. Sure, having your own office is better than a cubicle, but having a cubicle is much better than this awful dormitory- / prison yard-style of workspace we have now in offices. I can't believe "we have an open office design!" was once pumped as a selling point of a potential employer, like a factory farm slaughterhouse might sell their feces-covered lots by using a big salt lick with nails embedded in it.
