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.
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.
