Man you guys get cubicles? I get a small section of a long desk in a row of long desks, and they are even taking that away now for a "flexible seating", where I have to reserve a desk in order to work.

The next logical step is to remove the reservations system and let people play musical chairs for seat to increase space efficiency

Musical chairs would indeed be a "fast paced and exciting" environment, but in the least desirable way.

Better than open half-walls so you have to listen to the entire sales floor just so the boss can watch over the entire department to make sure nobody's not working. I was an admin and it sucked.

I'm in the same boat. It's so depressing.

They're talking about your commute on the highway to some office park in the middle of nowhere.

Nothing more exciting than a monochrome box.

Here is translation from HR speak to English:

"fast-paced" - requirements change multiple times during each sprint

"exciting" - your manager will be an idiot

I'd say this was my exact cubicle at a previous company (same exact phone and monitor!), but there is no way they'd spend the money on lamps for us.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

it looks nearly identical to a cube I had at one of my jobs as well, I think even the phone is the same

It should be an open floor plan. I'd honestly love a cubicle if I had to work in an office.
