I used to work in cubicles before the open floor plan was so popular. It used to be a joke about how sad cubicles were and how open concepts were more high energy and fun.
After being interrupted all day I can't believe cubicles were so much better than I thought. I even remember reading Joel Spolskys blog about how he paid for expensive floor to ceiling cubicles to make it similar to people having their own office and stuff.
If only companies would care about actual studies, science, and sustainability rather than quarterly profits and hypercapitalist growth. If that was the case we'd probably have cubicles in that style, 4 day work weeks, companies encouraging unions and working with them for employee retention, pensions and the like. And this is only the first step in moving from capitalism to socialism. But the machine needs meat to grind into pretend 2x money for the next quarter so the billionaires can masturbate to "line go up"
