Slashdot Mirror
Companies Move Away From Cubicle Culture
Makarand writes "According to this Mercury News article companies are
freeing employees from
their cubicles to save on corporate real estate costs. By eliminating the
need for offices for thousands of employees they are reducing their building
needs by thousands of square feet.
Employees now work in shared areas or from home or elsewhere outside the traditional cubicle.
Those who prove to be unproductive when they have to share space with others risk getting fired. This trend is expected
to accelerate
as wireless technologies are making workers more mobile and capable of working from anywhere.
About 13000 of Sun Microsystems' 35000 employees working in Santa Clara (CA) currently lack offices."

Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: That's an awful long string of letters there.
This is the awesome. I always wondered why they made cubicles. I mean, you could just arrange the desks the way they are and save money by not purchasing those cubicle walls.
There just have to be three rules. No loud clicky keyboards, no speakerphone voicemail (shouldn't do this anyway) and headphones for winamp/xmms.
Open workspaces are awesome, I hope lots of people who can't handle it get fired so I can get a job more easily when I graduate.

"You have to make a choice, Neo. You click the blue link, the session ends, you end up back at your home page and believe whatever you want to believe. You click the red link... and I show you how deep the ass hole goes."
Of course they won't be able to work in the proximity of others effectively - they fucking smell too bad because they never shower.
Windows developers, on the other hand, should continue to thrive.
This has nothing to do with anything remotely Slashdot related, but I need to do something before my head explodes...
As I type this, my roomate and my best friend/recent lover are fucking in the next room over. WHAT THE FUCK. After 10 years of friendship and built-up sexual tension, we finally hooked up and now less than a week later she's banging my roomate. I am so fucking incensed right now I can't think straight. I wouldn't mind if they went to a hotel or otherwise didn't make it known, but she just FUCKING WALKED PAST MY ROOM TOPLESS AND SHUT THE DOOR IN MY FUCKING FACE. How fucking insensitive can you be?!
This sucks. It's 3AM and I'm telling strangers (GEEK strangers, no less) about my personal problems. I am a big pussy and will most likely not say anything to either one of them so I expect this to go on for a while. Fuck.
Feeling low? There's someone else out there that's having a worse day than you. Trust me.

I'm going to fucking beat you until you understand the difference you uneducated, shit for brains puke with no social skills.
BTW it is possible to be sociable and technical.
Just because you're too busy jerking it in the corner to kiddie porn doesn't mean there aren't very technical people out there who can communicate with others in a social setting.
Maybe I should put up pictures of my cumshots, then I can say "that spunk is MINE."
