  He had his head own cubicle. Better than any of the “open plan” offices I spent years working in.

    That’s the fun part, in that time, cubicles were seen as terrible, dystopian, cheapass things because folks used to have offices, and how much cheaper could it really get than some flimsy modular furniture for you to sit at?

    Then the companies gestured to just some tables in a room and said “figure it out, and no assigned seating, so just figure it out each day” to show how cheap and how little regard they have for the employees.

    At this rate, I fully expect in the next few years for the next wave in office space optimization: Image

    I’ve worked in open plan offices my entire 20 year career and I yearn for the cheap fabric covered mines.

      Honestly, I kinda dig the open floor concept and small groups. those half-walls are bullshit. But I do LOVE having developers/ops/engineers/pm’s close enough to ask each other occasional questions.

    This was 1999; it was standard.
