The cube pictured looks pretty nice next to what I endured for the last 18 months. The company I work for just moved to a new building (where I have a nice office with a view!) after spending way too long in the old building. It was worth the wait.

It was nice to be complimented, but also utterly lacking in privacy. I remember strategically placing a foil balloon so my boss wouldn't have a clear view of me from several desks over. The endless sea of desks was a depressing sight. I remember working across from a girl who would listen to many of my phone calls and comment on how well I handled particular calls.

I think the endless office landscapes with five feet tall cubicle walls are by far worse. No privacy, no space that you can feel is your own, just crap. In comparison I'd love to work in a place boxed in to such a degree. Privacy is worth gold in an office environment. That's not so bad at all.

Sure there's not much room to move, but with that wall of metal, there's privacy at least. Compared to the cubicles I've worked in, that's actually not too bad.

I can't think of a punishment more hellish than having to work in a cubicle. It's images like this that make me glad I'm a cook.

Have some pride people - quit - Today!
