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

They hated them because before that people had offices. Then someone decided why pay all this money for offices, when we can put up these shitty dividers and pack more people into this space. Then some other dickheads decided why bother paying for these dividers when we can pack even more people into this space, and sell the idea as “open” and “collaborative”. And if you don’t like it (because you can’t concentrate for shit in this loud ass hellscape) then you’re not a “team player”.
Does that answer your question?
This is kind of a myth. It’s not feasible for everyone to have an office if you have a lot of people in once space. Open floor plans were what people did.
Yeah I thought of this right after I posted this. I still think it holds for certain professions though. Like engineers had offices. Now not so much.
It kind of depends on the job and the size of the company. My father was an engineer and spent time in offices and open floors full of drawing tables. The small companies could accommodate offices, but that was too hard to pull off with larger companies.
I remember some old offices buildings at MS where they tried to give everyone a little baby office, and it was actually pretty depressing and weird.
