    I’d prefer this over the open-floor plan with shared desks we get currently

      I like our open space plan, personally. It’s full of plants and green, which makes it less clinical, full kf sound dampening, which makes it less oppressively noisy and also full of people I get along with well, which makes quick across-the-desks banter more fun.

        Yeah, well designed open space is great. One that gives a semblance of privacy and “personality”. But 99% of open spaces are not that, so cubicles win most of the time.

      Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

      Would have to agree. I WFH now, with occasional lab testing and site visits for clients. Last place I worked, I shared a “quad” cube with a filing cabinet/table in the middle while everyone faced into their corner. Main problems: I shared it with an intern who constantly asked questions and two admin ladies constantly talking in said quad with all the other admin ladies about little league baseball games and one’s ongoing ugly divorce…yikes lol
