    You don’t even get a cubicle anymore, here’s a lopsided ikea desk you share with three other people.

    Most people think the cubicle is a downgrade from what we had before. I think this comes from people believing these people would be in offices if not for the cubicle farm. In reality most of these people would be in a open environment with desks next to each other. The cubicle was the upgrade.

      My first tech job gave me a cubicle in an office. Then at Amazon I had a desk in a team room, which was nice. Then we got moved to open layout, which was dogshit fucking horrible. I’ve long since left that hellish company and enjoy my own office at home, but yeah I totally agree that cubicles were much better than at least the tech industry norm these days.

    I kinda miss my desk cubicle. Now I can see other people and I have less desk flair now with hotdesks. Still, get to work from home in my own personal bombsite.

      I do feel like a dick sitting in my office going “oh my fingies is cold, burrr” in the middle of summer watching the laborers at the office building nextdoor tarring a new roof in the baking sun.
