iiiiiiitttttttttttt

It only seems to get worse. I wonder what hellish workplace setup they'll come up with that'll have us wishing to have open offices again. I'd say that open offices are the worst it can get, but I've been surprised by how worse work can get in the past.

We also shouldn't settle for this

If you can't guarantee employees privacy to do their tasks then they should be allowed to work from home

Fucking hell this resonates with so many of us. A few employers ago, I had my own office in the original building, when they decided to build a new office, they moved to an open floor plan for it...sneeze guards....it was fucking shit, bosses got nice new offices though. What's worse was when they had constant complaints from everyone in the fish bowl, their solution was to put in a white noise generator. So you'd leave work and hear static for hours after.

So glad I work from home now, will never go back.

I was just coming to say this. A little bit of privacy and sound proofing? Yes please!

Yeah it's funny how when I was a kid, the idea of a cubicle was used to describe the hellish experience of office life, but by the time I was in an office (had other jobs first), it was all open plans and a cubicle like in the picture would've been heaven on earth for me and my introverted ass.
