How are we supposed to bear this? Even for high-paying jobs like engineering/software it is a miserable existence.

Meanwhile in the ancient world, engineers would be helping Alexander the Great building machines of war to lay siege to Gaza. Imagine the glory.

Dude, it's all a shit-fest. If you've got a high-paying job right now, live the lowest life you can, save and invest like your life depended on it, and drop out of society as soon as you can.

"A systematic survey of research upon the effects of open-plan offices found frequent negative effects in some traditional workplaces: high levels of noise, stress, conflict, high blood pressure and a high staff turnover.

The noise level in open-plan offices greatly reduces productivity, which drops to one third relative to what it would be in quiet rooms. New technologies like voice-activation and mobile phones also decrease effectiveness in the open-plan setting.

Although promoted as a way to encourage collaboration and increase the group's collective intelligence, open-plan offices are associated with a dramatic reduction in face-to-face interactions, as employees turn to digital communication, such as sending e-mail messages. Open-plan offices have frequently been found to reduce the confidential or private conversations which employees engage in, and to reduce job satisfaction, concentration and performance, whilst increasing auditory and visual distractions.

Open-plan offices have been found to elevate the risk of employees needing to take time off for sickness.

The majority of people working in open-plan offices wish they had more quiet places to make calls or to concentrate on a task."

I miss my cubicle , had some sort of fake privacy. Had my own spot with pictures of things that make me happy.

Now I work on an open floor plan . Noise having to start early or else there is literally not a normal workplace (dual screen). My only personal thing is my wallpaper

when will you fucking retards realize we are no longer in a society of growth and innovation?

we are moving towards an era of social control. nothing else matters.

the sooner you realize this, the sooner you can stop wasting your time asking stupid questions "why" and do something about it instead.

Microsoft used to have separate offices for most of the software developers. It was good, but they started moving to open office plans for maximum distraction and minimum productivity. FML.

kind of got lucky. founder of the firm went to my college (big state school) and posted a job listing through the career center. because it is a small firm with no name recognition, there weren't a ton of applicants because everyone wanted to go work for a big bank or some shit. i got an internship while i was in school and did a good job and they kept me on board. that was eight years ago and i'm still here. i'm not raking cash now, but making $120k without having to go back for an MBA or anything. and i can sit in my office and shitpost whenever i want.

Well, there are engineers right now working in the army and developing weapons to kill shitskins or whatever. If you aren't good enough to be in the army then you probably wouldn't be good enough for Alexander without your 20/20 hindsight. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

I work in a top private sector company, the military wouldn't be any more difficult, but how is developing weapons for israel even comparable to working alongside Alexander?
