top o' the mornin'® 9/24/2014
Moving day - our branch has returned to its regular office after it was renovated. I hate the new furniture - the cubicle walls are half-height, meaning that they don't screen out light or sound. Further, I had to set up my computer so that my back is to the cubicle entrance, so I can't see people coming. Plus there's too much light coming in through the windows. Yes, I'm a troglodyte.

I wonder if the bosses who approved these ineffective cubicles are actually sitting in the middle of them or it they happen to have real offices?

It's been "proven" that half-height cube walls make people happier. Most people like the additional light and supposedly it's quieter with the lower walls as people realize they need to talk more softly.earendel wrote:Moving day - our branch has returned to its regular office after it was renovated.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
