- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

People actually have cubicles like that, with decoration and everything? I'm a typical office worker in Brazil and have never seen something like that.
Yes. I was so creeped out by the giant beige maze of cubes further than my eye could see at one place I interviewed at that I didn’t take it. Now here I am 10 years later at a place where I’m… in a beige cube. And I like it. Open floor plans or even half-cubes are hell for my concentration.
I have 100% worked in a cubical exactly like that.
One of the most soul crushing times of my life for sure.
Yes, my father did. He had the same one for many years at one place (nearly a decade, until he was laid off) then another for many, many years (nearly two decades, until he retired)
I was able to visit the first job as a child and I loved it. It was incredibly cozy. It wasn't decorated with past achievements of what he once was, but some awards and certificates he may have earned in his current life to celebrate his growth. A lot of personalization like family photos, silly pictures, memes (they had memes printed out on paper many decades ago, too!), snacks, projects he was working on, a LOT of computer parts (he worked at a major computer company), a couple nice comfy desk chairs
Other people had different tastes of course. If you've ever been to college where people live in dorms, it's almost the same feeling. Some are bare and kept to the absolute essentials. Others were absolutely plastered with personal effects
The company he worked for obviously allowed that freedom and I can't say the same for everywhere, especially if cubicles are shared spaces with an alternate shift
Those are some very good nostalgic memories for me so I wanted to share, thanks for giving me an opportunity
I wish I had a cubicle like that... I've always had to work in an open-plan bullpen with no privacy
It used to be a lot more common in the 80s and 90s but still exists
I have. It was about double the size of those ones, but pretty much everyone who worked in the contact centers we serviced had something like those shown or worse
I hot desk. Nothing but blank walls you can look over for me. Fuck work 2.0
