Cubicles: You know them well

Cubicles: You know them well

FORTUNE: Trapped in cubicles - Mar. 9, 2006

My favorite quote from the article:
It is the Fidel Castro of office furniture.

I've lived in more than a few cubicle farms, and I have to say that the fact that one person - one man - designed it is surprising. Surprising because I would have expected it to have been a committee sort of thing.

The fact that it's not being used as it was originally designed? Well, that's not very surprising at all.

Cubicles, bleh. At my work we're thinking about having a completely open floor plan, which may even be worse. They would be able to see me typing this.

Lots of things are not used as they were designed and cubicles are no exceptions.
