when i worked at DE, i was in a open cube, (low walls) it was set up just like that video on the top. so you can still talk to people and ask questions. As far as the movie office space type cubes,, no way would i do that. EVER. idk if it was a 6figure job. Its just not mEE. I just feel like if i was in a cube, i’m working as a number not a person. And i would not have any aspiration to come to work. Your working the rest of your life. You better dame well like everything about that place.
IDK which office you worked in but I know some of the larger op centers have the shorter cubical walls for their engineers to do just as you described. The one I worked in was smaller and almost everyone knew everyone else so the taller walls really didn’t matter. Plus people would talk to their neighbors without getting up.
The asperation to go to work was that I enjoyed doing my job. I actually had alot of fun because they would give me a workload and cut me lose to do it when/as I pleased. If I got 3 jobs in Mooresville, 2 in Kannapolis, and 4 in Charlotte I could pick and choose which to do on what day of the week. Maybe it’s just having a real job, idk, but enjoying my job in a cube beats being miserable in more open environments.
