Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Cubicles were needed when blueprints were drawn on large drafting tables while using slide rules and storing them in huge tubes. You could even argue that cubicles were needed when the internet was slow and computers were huge towers with big power supplies and fans. In the last decade, sending files from a laptop at home renders all cubicles obsolete, so now there is no reason to have a cubicle. We are now just simulating some Cubicle fantasy that was created in the 1960's. Cubicles waste money on expensive food, create a high pressure environment based on fear, waste time commuting even during hazardous weather, confine people like cattle, spread disease, decrease health, enable abusive behavior, and trap people to work overtime for free constantly. They said cubicles keep company secrets safe, but that's not true either since workers kept company secrets safe while working from home with no problems over the last few years. A job that requires in-person activity shouldn't require a cubicle either and if an office is really needed, just get an executive style office, not a cubicle. We have the technology to get rid of this cubicle scourge from planet Earth once and for all, so let's make it happen!
