The Moral Life of Cubicles #
From the large stack of old reading I’ve been meaning to do, I found this:
Offices in the 1970s and 1980s seemed to their critics burdensome remnants of an older age, symbolic shackles of bureaucracy—a system as inhuman as it was ineffective. Cubicles, by contrast, seemed to lack the fixity, and the constraints of bureaucracy of the old office. Moreover, cubicles eliminated the hierarchical distinctions between managers and workers; every cubicle had an open door, everyone was equally a worker. Empowering and humane, cubicles seemed to create a workplace with a soul.

The Coolest Cubicle #
I’m a complete sucker for “show me your workspace” pictures, posts, and articles. As such, it should be no surprise that I just wasted 20 minutes clicking through the entrants in Lifehacker’s coolest cubicle contest.
