We got a tour of one of the finished / furnished new floors today. I’ll be
in a cube analogous to the folks by the window. Wide-open view out… and
around.

Good cube walls make good neighbors

You’ll have to let us know how you like it when you move in there. One the positive side, the lower walls would feel less closed-in and would allow people in the middle to have a better view. On the negative side, the lower walls would seem to me to promote a noisier workplace and more visual distractions when one is trying to concentrate. It looks to me like they’re going back to the old open bullpen with a bunch of desks in a room, and I wonder if that’s really very productive.
P.S. reCAPTCHA gave me a symbol that cannot be typed, so far as I know (capital Omega).
Wow, that looks like it sucks Dave.
If that is the way they are going to go, then they should just do away with the cube walls altogether and lay out desks old school style and be done with it.
The cube walls are too short, and the space next to the window should be an aisle so everyone can wander over and enjoy the view when they’re contemplating a problem. It’s going to be a noisy space with unfairly distributed cubicles.
