When I was younger I laughed assuming it was a comedy

Now I laugh to keep from crying because I realize it's a documentary.

I would love to work in a cubicle farm like that vs. an open office any day though.

After relocating from the US to Scandinavia, people here are always give me crap for having worked in a cubicle farm. And I always tell them I'd go back to that layout in a second compared the open landscape nightmare we have everywhere here.

Yeah open plan offices is like someone looked at cubicles and said "they are not miserable enough, we need to change something"

I remember in the early 00's seeing blogs or cartoons where they would complain and call it their "gray, 4-walled prison cell". Well, that cell is a lot more dignified than today's open-office hot-desking that would be akin to an impoverished country's prison!
