You’re lucky – an overhead cubby and 3 drawers. Plenty of places to hide booze.

It’s because corporations being corporations and took the concept of workspace partitions to its limits for the sake of efficiency. Look at early concepts of workspace partitions and it doesn’t look like anything that’s the office hellscape we saw in the late 90’s and early 2000s. It went from good design with big partitioned off sections to crammed cubicles in a soulless environment.
Same thing happened with the modern open office plan where everyone got crammed into a flex desk bull pen instead of the proper open office design where everyone has a big private desk where you sit several feet away from each other.
Just look at this clip where Conan visits the Intel HQ in 2007, it’s a soulless maze of cubicles https://youtu.be/gXReifFHXbY
Sure you got privacy but it’s just depressing to spend so much time in an environment like that.
Also here is a video of how the partitioned workspace aka the action office turned into the cubicles we all hate https://youtu.be/7Tt4n8SaxEY
You'd think they'd love it if everyone worked from home, then. Don't have to pay for office space at all if your employees are already paying for their offices.
