That's the sad thing about most cubicle furniture. We stopped innovating somewhere in the last 30 years, and the cubes in this picture could easily be 40 years old if not for the lack of wear-and-tear. Same goes for carpet and lighting. The only thing that dates it newer than all that is the office chair - we started making those just before the turn of the 21st.
Scarf down pancakes with extra syrup while you start your day. Sprout mung beans in the drawer. Leave behind a nit comb and a bottle of nit shampoo on the desk. Eat a sesame seed bagel bare handed over your chair.
It's interesting what happens when a business moves out and it costs the bank more to clear a building than to just let it rot. You get a bit of a time capsule.

It seems like this picture was taken from outside a commercial building with plenty of reflections and light bleed from the real world.

Thanks. I couldn’t figure this out at first.

It's been a while since I stepped foot in the office, but aren't Cubes more-or-less a luxury now with long trestles of no privacy the norm?

Cubes are the norm where I work, except for the marketing department because someone high up there cared more about aesthetics than practicality.

Those ceiling light fixtures look like minecraft clouds

Really cool pic.
That workplace lowkey gives “The Stanley Parable” vibes.

Let us not forget to ask: why was this place?
Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 154d
But nobody asks how is this place ...

This thread should have started with what. What is this place. But other than that we did pretty well. Good job Lemmy.

I miss my own desk. My own space. Now it’s anyone’s.

It will become your own space, I guarantee it.
