"Open Office Layout"
EDIT: Wikipedia: Open Plan
Okay I perfectly understand all the cons and why people dislike open office layouts but it's way better than what we used to have with cubicals
I'd go fucking insane if I had to work in this shit. This environment is way more prison like
Open plans are definitely way less inclusive of people with more sensitive senses for sure
I wonder if companies started adapting open floor plans partially to filter out people who can't thrive in them
I.e. people on the spectrum and less social people
Cubicles are so much better than that open office crap. At least for cubicles you can (somewhat) personalize your space, can (somewhat) get away with dicking around on company time, and can (sometimes) get away with doing shit that you're not supposed to do on company time. Just get a bunch of small cubicle mirrors strategically placed so you won't get surprised by unwanted guests.
I respectfully disagree comrade. Certainly the average person can differ greatly in their preferences and one resolution can be a mixed layout or adjustable office space, but I think it's good to have boundaries, at least as an option. Plus the Wikipedia article (grain of salt as always) I referenced appeared to note a lot of negative effects, even going so far as to affect physical health.
In that picture most of the immiseration (besides capitalism) seems to be caused by the color, crowding, and lighting.
