A genuine cubicle like that would be a luxury
Seriously.
Open-plan office dwellers everywhere: “Tell me more about this ‘cubicle’. Walls, you say?”
I brought this wall from home!
Fast paced = we have understaffed and expect you to do more than your share of the work. Exciting = as people with better prospects leave our untenable work environment you will be expected to take on their responsibilities with no extra pay.
I’d prefer this over the open-floor plan with shared desks we get currently
seriously all these boomers complaining about cubicles like they wouldnt be paradise, the audacity
Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.
I like our open space plan, personally. It’s full of plants and green, which makes it less clinical, full kf sound dampening, which makes it less oppressively noisy and also full of people I get along with well, which makes quick across-the-desks banter more fun.
Yeah, well designed open space is great. One that gives a semblance of privacy and “personality”. But 99% of open spaces are not that, so cubicles win most of the time.
I prefer working at home. I’ve got the home part currently, but not so much the working.

Would have to agree. I WFH now, with occasional lab testing and site visits for clients. Last place I worked, I shared a “quad” cube with a filing cabinet/table in the middle while everyone faced into their corner. Main problems: I shared it with an intern who constantly asked questions and two admin ladies constantly talking in said quad with all the other admin ladies about little league baseball games and one’s ongoing ugly divorce…yikes lol
It gets fast-paced and exciting when the boss has An Idea on a Friday afternoon that must be completed before the end of the week.
And the idea?

That is a management cubicle.
This is the cubicle you are applying for: (chair not included)
Those walls are awful tall there, cant even see your monitor over it!
they can see your monitor fine with all the “security” software they put on the system.
I’d take a confessional booth over an open office floor.
The notepad lowers the desk neatness score in my workplace.
not sarcasm 😑. 5/5 is empty desk. i dk who thought that was acceptable metric.
You get walls?
Holy shit, they get a LAMP?!
The ability to control your own lighting, that’s how I know this image is AI
Also, LEMP but they have to install and configure it themself.
Sure, that’s how it starts but then all of a sudden you’re a Jesus allegory.
This is just corp-speak for “we will burn you the fuck out”
Fast pace environments = we didn’t do any planning or architecture so you’ll be fire fighting 24/7. Oh and our management doesn’t understand software development so they’ll be blind to the issues
I constantly work in open space startups like this for 18 years… first job 6, second 4, now for 8 years as a tech lead.
Sometimes I really wish for a cubicle or personal office room… I think I’m becoming old
The shared open office thing is pretty much why I quit the profession. I don’t know what’s wrong with most people, but I need peace and fucking quiet in order to code effectively.

Oh, the heart attack telephone.
During the 12 years I had those, one once rang and I almost died of shock.
Maybe the building starts sailing through the city like the opener to that one Monty Python film. 🤷♂️
The crimson financial assurance I think it was? Probably my fave python bit
I was so confused the first time I popped in that VHS, thought I’d gotten a mislabeled cassette.
The state of office desks has been continuously getting worse my entire career.
The very first place I interviewed had small private offices with a door for everyone. They weren’t any bigger than a decent sized cubicle but were real separate rooms and most of them had exterior windows. I didn’t get that job though.
My first desk at my first engineering job was in a cubicle with real six foot tall walls, a window with a nice view, big L desk, shelves, filing cabinets, etc.
Then I got the same setup, but in a fabric cube. Honestly, not really a downgrade. I had that setup three times, and the only difference was how good the view was.
Then the same but no windows.
Then a smaller cube with a simple 6 foot desk and a single cabinet.
Then a line of 6 foot wide desks with privacy screens on three sides.
Then privacy screen on left and right only.
Then no screens.
Then four foot desks.
My current office is four foot desks that are hotdesked for most people. But we are also completely remote if you want, so I use my nice desk that I built at home 90% of the time.
At my first job as a programmer I had a full old-fashioned desk. Unfortunately it was in the server room which was kept at 58°F. The servers didn’t actually need to be at that temperature any more and I sure as fuck didn’t need to be at that temperature since I was writing desktop apps, but that was how that company had been doing things for literally decades. I had to wear a hat and motherfucking Oliver Twist fingerless gloves all day.
Just think of all the TPS reports you could process with that sweet setup.
