Cubicles. I've worked in both environments and open offices are ironically the most dehumanizing. The zero privacy chips away at your soul. Couldn't even scratch my balls without the entire floor seeing. The only people that can tolerate that and actually be productive are tunnel visioned NPCs that lack situational awareness.

Weirdly enough cubicles are "good" compared to what we have now. Closed-door offices of course being the best. Open space is demoralizing. You are visible to other people for nearly 8 hours. You must listen to everyone else's noise. Your manager could literally have a desk right behind you. It is hell.

>> No.51067300

Depends

Open offices are nice if they are not too crowded and you are next to a windows.

They suck when they looks like a warehouse filled with 100 desk.

Old Cubicules are nice because you get more space and privacy but you don't get much sunlight. Also i found this to be more sound proof.

Nice open office > cubicule > cramped open office

open office is the worst. people do disgusting shit at their desks and I dont want to see that. If you come in with a hangover every one can see. They are harder to decorate (which decorating your cage does a lot for your mental health).

Same but they are still shitty. Personally, I stopped giving a shit when I realized people close their blinds to literally sleep in their offices let alone browsing worksafe sites.

I worked in an office where there was a 27 year old girl who would clear her throat every 5-15seconds. It never stopped. She had been doing it for years. It sounded like a busted lawn mower trying to start. Strangely enough, nobody else seemed to notice it, which made me wonder if I'm aspergers or something. It wasn't a soft throat clear either. You could hear her in any room or adjacent room.

The office had half-cubical walls, where you could stand up and see everyone. Always wished they had the full ones just drown her out. I didn't work there long, fortunately. The throat clearing just wore me down over a few months. I was saved by my department getting laid off, lol.

This is a great arrangement if you are partnered with someone high value and considerate of others. Had to share something like this with another woman who didn't wear deodorant. Had to ask my boss for a new seating assignment after a week. Threatened to quit if not. Also, when I knew of another guy that just smelt like he never bathed. Nobody magically would get assigned to his cubicle area.
