I prefer this over an open space office. Thank you.
Same, but after working from home for the past few years there’s no way I’d take a job at an office.
WFH > Office cubicle > Open plan chaos
Open office is basically the company treating its employees with all the consideration they would afford to cattle.
Sweat shop.
Yeah, this is not the worst office arrangement.
Yes I long for the days of a 6 foot tall cubicle.
Open office I worked at constantly had music playing(“Just put on headphones”, management being too dumb/selfcentered to understand that that raises the noise floor and makes it so people have to talk louder) and people constantly calling.
“Just put on headphones”
This is what the people who want to play music should do, though. The problem is, if the management is one of them.
Right! I was like wait you guys get cubicles?!
Yeah, at least you can sleep without anyone knowing
Exactly. I wouldn’t mind that at all. Instead I have open space with one desk close to one another and people around me have meetings all day long and they just talk to somebody constantly. There are not enough conference rooms for everyone, so there’s nothing one could do about it. It annoys me so much that I prefer to stay at home to work, even though I would definitely prefer office if it just wasn’t so noisy and annoying.
I’m pretty sure that’s code for “understaffed and lots of unpaid overtime”.
unpaid overtime is such a mind boggling concept to me, if you don’t pay me i’m… not working? like, that’s how employment works
💯
Where can I apply for such companies? I’d rather have this office than the open office crap we get these days.
Right? It was a real meme talking shit about cubicles as white collar prisons. How horribly horribly wrong they were. It’s open offices that are the 9th stage of hell as far as I’m concerned.

Why do people capitalize Random words in their sentences these days?
My Favorite Is People That Capitalize The First
WordLetter Of EveryLetterWord For No Reason.First word of every letter?
Also I believe this is because some text fields are accidentally recognized as name inputs? It seems to happen automatically for my friends sometimes.
I think I was so focused on making sure to capitalize correctly that I got scrambled.

Boomers have done it for years as a lazy erratic way to emphasize words, seemingly because of all the accumulated lead setting in, and boomer heroes like Trump do it all the time, normalizing it further.
With that chair? No, thanks. My back is hurting just by looking at it. Nothing like laying on the couch at home while working.
Is this Neo’s desk?
Neo’s desk isn’t as bad as the “open office” shit that came afterward, where it’s even more oppressively surveilled and creepy asshole bosses have that much more means to make every moment a panopticon of misery.
Why is the desk at bar height. I hate it
High
pacedblood pressure, from all the sedentary workIn my experience every tech job takes place in a former industrial building that has been converted to office space by real estate speculants.
Apparently you need to see exposed brick to code effectively.
Fucking 9-5 HR people needs to understand what 9-5 is.

Hilarious!
I’m not sure I’ve ever worked a 9-5 honestly. Always 8-5, 8:30-5:30, or random other 9 hour (or more, worked 3/12.5 once) days. If we can’t get rid of the 40 hour week I guess I’d prefer 4 10s, but 4 8s would be better.
Don’t forget to put those new cover sheets on your TPS reports.
My only real qualm is the chair could be nicer. Still nicer than a lot of the chairs where I work.
Where’s the problem? Cubicles are the best for office work, especially since most tech workers seem to be introverts. My office did open plan and ended up switching to cubicles and it was much better.
