GOD I KNOW RIGHT. Elder millenial here, I got the luxury of a cubicle ONCE, briefly at the start of my career.... never again.
Never understood Dilbert poking fun of cubicles so much till I realized what they replaced was widespread private offices! For most or all engineering staff, not just the executives!
What really confuses me is -- isn't corporate america in 2025 way way way way more profitable than in 1980? So why can't we afford private offices or even cubicles anymore?
