People are hoping cubicles come back vs open office.

Never thought I'd see this happen. And honestly it makes sense to have a cubicle because you get your own privacy.

Open office just sounds like hell.

It is.

Didn't enjoy the open office much, except when most people were gone.


Obviously having your own little room is best, then sharing a single room office is next best, with cubicle near the bottom next to open.

Cubical cell crew

Open office sounds brutal

It would also pressure everyone to be quiet all the time or only talk work since everyone can hear

I spend so much time bullshitting with people to pass the time

I only have like 2 hours of work a day

I spend about 6-7 hours at work and leave early as it's slow right now

Open office was one of the worst experiences in my wagecel career. The constant paranoia of having to always looking busy is fucking torture. People silently judge if you're reading a boring ass news article or taking a break. It's also loud as fuck too and there's a constant drone of noise. The psychopaths in management who thought of it, yet alone implement it should be skinned alive. They all got their own private offices where they fucked around all day and went to pointless meetings.

Share a room with another desk which is empty at the moment, with a small open room attaching the other office room with two other salesman in that room so we can yell across if we need one another.

Never am I going back into an office. Made a deal with myself even if I get fired now I'll cut back on costs and live a very minimalist lifestyle to make it work with what I've already earned and saved.

No joke, never going back. I'd be less miserable selling my house and cutting my expenses than setting foot in an office.

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

corporate office politics is the worst. open offices are awful because you have no privacy.

for example, sometimes you need to take a quick 30 minute nap, which would actually increase your productivity in the long-run. but management would look down on you because you would appear to be slacking. it's stupid because if i don't take that nap, i will spend the rest of the day being tired and unproductive. i would literally be sitting at my desk pretending to be busy, instead of actually doing work.

Sometimes I go and sit with the plebs at the open office, good banter and such.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

When I was hired at my last job, the company was renting space in an outdated mid-century downtown office building. It was actually nice because the floorplans were not traditional office space. Some floors used to be apartments. Some used to be lawyers offices. The company just rented a bunch of floors and instead they created makeshift workstations with old furniture wherever it fit. Basically anything they could find was pieced together and it actually worked. I was seated in a room with two other people, but it was spacious and we had our own area to work.

Then one day they brought everyone down to a fancy banquet hall and announced we were relocating to a state of the art Class A office tower. Everyone was excited for new amenities like covered parking, cafes, fitness center and high rise views. I knew better.

It ended up being a massive downgrade because some phaggot consultants convinced them to go with open floor seating. So while I had a huge metal desk facing a window before, in the new building I was sitting in these retarded 4x4 plastic tables, exactly like this:



No privacy. No room to even stretch out. I fucking HATED it.

Thankfully within a few months Covid hit and they switched us all to remote schedules. The following two years were the absolute BEST of my adult life because I actually got to WFH. I imagine the company was hemorrhaging money during this time. Who gives a fuck though. I was happy AF.

Now I'm at a different company, working in a shitty suburban office park and we have traditional 90s beige cubicles. Depressing AF, but still better than an open office.

Yeah, no. Lots of companies are making people come in 4-5 days a week now. My company does 3 days a week hybrid.

This seems like bullshit however I admit my perception of office life was skewed to begin with and largely based around the year immediately following COVID

But most of my former colleagues still attend a physical office space purely on an exceptions basis

Every office I've worked at has been 'open floor' where everyone can see everyone else, including screens. Even senior managers just sat with everyone else.

Only the workers in the corners got any semblance of privacy. I think that's just UK office culture, we don't really do small cubicles in offices.

open office is hell because for many people, their nature and lack of self control prompts them to talk a lot and distract others around them a lot

My company never went fully remote for everyone during the pandemic because there are tasks that can't be done at home. After the inital 2-3 months at beginning they also let people voluntarily go in the office if they preferred that to at home and then pulled some people in who weren't doing their jobs at home or fudging their time. The majority of us got pulled back in 2 days a week after 2 years. Then Jan of 2025 they started making everyone do 3x a week in office.

Ok fair

Our culture may have been more amenable to remote working because prior to COVID we were always out on site with clients

Also if we were on time and materials contracts then nobody GAF where you were as long as the hours were getting billed each quarter
