It sounds like you didn't.

Yes, pods have walls and table tops. They can also have huge glass walls that slide open, and storage units so they remain neat. Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one?

Or do you promote open work plans in your day job?

Which image are you talking about? It's a cage without natural light, I don't understand how a glass door makes it better. Actually it's even worse, because it's a depressive as a cubicle, but without "privacy".

Sorry, image urls buried deep inside, I had to use dev tools to extract them.

Promoting a weird idea that every human being (even if he/she is a developer) deserves a window, fresh air and natural light, is my little personal war.

And there's no "open space" vs "gray cages" dichotomy. Our team works in a quiet room with big windows, for example.

There is no indication from the photos that they don't have windows, we don't see the direction from where the pictures are taken from. We only see that on one side they have storage.
