> the vile life that is corporate cubicles
I’m sorry, but this triggered me. Have you tried an open office? I long for my cubicles.
At least then I had like 4 square meters to myself. Both my space and my privacy have been degraded more and more.

Actually I lumped in cubicles with open offices as being the same thing.
I've worked in both!
I'll try to be careful with my words here:
So I found no difference in my actual happiness or well being such.
I do agree that having a 'home' in an office is important - and a cubicle you can call your own and decorate is something...
Totally agree that open plan noisy offices are a nightmare!
Hot-desking is another level of hell again!
All things considered I dont have poisitve views of any office situation based on my now >25years of experience! (damn, has it been that long...)
But I appreciate that some people do.
So thats just me :-)
These days I get to work from my home office with my wife and it's great! :-)
Having thrown off multiple jobs that tried to reduce me to mindless peon, I find that the attempt to force me into their paradigm is explosive and will only explode more in the future. Via me, or the countless others who see, agree, and comment on this and other threads like it. Revolutions don't have to be noisy :)
The best office I’ve had was one where we had a real room for every 4 people or so (and 20+sqm per room).
I HATED curry days at the canteen.
Then Covid came along and could work from home but then I should have known better when they installed MS Teams and we had longer useless meetings now with fading cheapskate Bob that uses his Nokia headphones as a headset with his barking dog as background noise.
