Offices are better than cubicles. Especially when you have confidential conversations regularly

I agree with this sentiment. I'm a pretty social person, but I'll chat with people when I want or need to. Also, I think the average person prefers a space that they can call their own and most people end up gravitating to the exact same spot anyway. Let people have a wall and tack up pictures of their families and pets FFS.

This isn't unpopular. Only supervisors and managers like open concept. And that's because they aren't apart of it, and have their own office.

Yeah, it's weird looking at porn in an open concept office. Those creeps from accounts receivable are just staring at me all the time.

Cubicles get a bad rep because of how ugly they USED to be. People can't differentiate between style and function it seems like.

Yeah I wish I had a cubicle or a small office. Im tired of other people being loud while I am trying to take a meeting or want to focus on some of my paperwork but someone REALLY wants to have a loud talk about what they are going to do about their husband who takes aggressive poops.

Open offices are horrible for productivity; every serious study I've seen seems to support that.

Up until the late '70s or early '80s offices were open offices with a bunch of desks. All stacked in one room. Or you had a private office?. Everybody used phones to conduct business. They built cubicles so you could have a phone conversation 6 ft away from somebody else. That lasted for years. More recently everybody started using texting and emails and they went to open offices because of the look and the ability to collaborate without having to go to a meeting room. Now when you want to talk on the phone they put you in phone booths and more meeting rooms. Sometimes people camp out in the phone booth for a long period of time... If they had a cubicle they wouldn't have to. I agree cubicles are better unless you have a type of business where you constantly have to collaborate.

I agree. I hate cubicles and would prefer a personal office (or just being remote). Open concept offices are said to provide collaboration, which I can see. However, they also make it easier for everyone else like managers to monitor if you're doing your work or not.

Preach. I work now in an office with an old man who cackles rattling like a machine gun the whole day (the whole day) and even if I listen to music in my earphones to silent him, his voice is louder and after a while I can't focus and have a headache (please don't come with advices like "why don't you tell him"? My chief put me in the room with that man because the previous colleague had a nervous breakdown because of this and asked to be transferred in other place).
