Ijbol at the picture of an office floor with actual cubicles. That’s a shitty office from the 0’s or earlier. Now the shitty office standard is a bunch of shitty tables with zero privacy and everyone smushed together, for ‘teamwork’.

"I love taking my zoom calls on a cardboard desk in the middle of a cubicle farm instead of from my home office." --how bosses apparently think i should feel

Before cubicles, it was all open floors or offices. If you weren't high up enough for an office, even a shared one, you were out in the cattle pen. Office work has always sucked for anyone not in management.
