On: The Open-Office Trap

[johnward]

For some reason everyone in here hears "open office" and thinks "cube farm". There are open offices where you don't even have to privacy of a cube. I work in one. We have groups of 4 desks, two on each side facing each other, with some frosted glass in between. So you basically are in a 'cube' with 4 other people (since two people from the next group over are back to back with you).

I worked in cube farm and it's not really that much different but a completely open office is weird at first. Too much of a distraction for me so I prefer to work remote.

Not to be pedantic, but I did mention in my original post that they aren't necessarily the same. :)

It was more of just a general comment that landed here :)
