    I’m genuinely curious as to whether people actually work in these things.

            Been great except that time the AC went out. No one bothers you unless they need something fixed.

              No AC in the server room sounds like a recipe for cooked servers hot and fresh.

                Only one rack and it was a few weeks ago. I’m sure something would have died if it was middle of summer, though.

          Being in a room with 15,000 fans spinning at 10,000 rpm is like being trapped inside a vacuum cleaner. Mandatory hearing protection. Alternating rows of 70 degrees and 100+ degrees.

          It’s not always so fun, but being better than a cubicle is a low bar.

            Mandatory hearing protection.

            Can confirm. That’s what did it. Ideally, in just a few decades, my age will catch up with my hearing, though.

        I had a cubicle in my first job out of college, but most workspaces I’ve been in have been open

      I work remote, but the in-office guys in my department have cubicles. They like them pretty well, but they might also not be the best judges, because when they go into the office, they’re usually totally alone

      EE - I have a cubicle but don’t even use it bc I’m at a workbench elsewhere 90% of the time

      I work in a cubicle! I don’t mind it at all after over 10 years working retail/customer-facing positions.

        Seriously, after working fast food and as a cashier a cubicle is godsend. Company I work for is putting standing desks in for every employee this month too.

          Very nice!! Mine didn’t supply standing desks but I got a nice converter top thing to go on my desk and it’s very nice. Working on my feet for 10+ years I did hate sitting all the time lol.
