Over the past several decades, the cubicle has become universal shorthand for an oppressive, soul-crushing work environment where dreams go to die. But why has the cubicle become both so hated and so ubiquitous? With equal doses of deadpan humour and historical insight, the Canadian filmmaker Zaheed Mawani tackles the rise of the cubicle and the matter of why its inventor, the US designer Robert Propst, came to hate its implementation.

I would rather work in a cubical than work in an open office

@trnigyul 4 года назад

Most definitely.

@whotookthacookie 3 года назад

Same.

@billdoster9415 3 года назад

Absolutely

@sennthemanwin98 Год назад

Same, it helps with concentration. And thats definetly a problem for me.

@marial3231 Месяц назад

Not me. I’d rather work at home and come to work a couple days a week to see people and be in an open space where I can see outside and other people and not feel like I’m in a jail cell. The fluorescent lights don’t even get me started with that

2:17 that's not a cube, that's a space between two cubes to make room for those two pipes, lol

The broom closet was already taken.

I absolutely love my cubicle! Its private and very nicely decorated to reflect my personality. Life is what you make of it. 🥰

@Mazxlol 3 года назад

It’s designed to keep you working until death and not pursue your dreams. Still I would prefer a regular cube instead of open space

I love cubicles. Open work offices are the worst

@godsinbox 2 года назад

not a fan of the hot desk shuffle? claiming a new desk after lunch is fair game.

@NATE2905 3 года назад

watching this on my last day of work. I quit one week ago. Not going back to the cubicle.

I'm working now for an organization that utilizes cubicles. Upon graduation from highschool I had a cubicle job and then for 20+ years my own office. Made a career change and returned to a cubicle! It's an adjustment, I believe and know I work better in my own private office, but I do believe it varies from person to person. Trying to makes changes with my cubicle to increase mental peace & work productivity.

This deserves many more views.

I’ve had my own office, a cubicle and open space. The issue is not the work space but rather the environment.

@MrOldskoolgamez 2 года назад

I work in a cubie and I love making it my own. I’ll take it over factory work, retail, or restaurant work. Retail work is the real nightmare.

@stephaniedacostaferreira2873 3 года назад

Ok but like I could listen to the older lady with the copper hair colour for quite a while

@chastitywhore6141 7 месяцев назад

Millions of people in cubicles with dreams beyond the walls.

@ES6andCoffee 2 года назад

I love seeing how people decorate their cubicles.

@SomeGuy699 2 года назад

I wish I had a cubicle ! I hate open offices ! No privacy at all and all that noise ! And now you dont even have a regular desk to call your own, everyday you sit somewhere different ! Please, bring back the cubicles !

@Snowboarder54688 6 лет назад

Great video and amazing channel! Deserves orders of magnitude more views.

I worked in both open spaces and cubicles throughout my career. I enjoyed working in open spaces a lot more. There was more camaraderie among co-workers, which I enjoyed, even though I’m an introvert. We engaged with each other and got our work done. I think office work in general, along with cubicles, can be soul crushing.

This is truly amazing film making.

This is one of many reasons why I want a career in teaching

@ingridmartinez3839 2 года назад

I just went from an open office to a cubicle. I don’t know how to decorate it yet. 😩

@antimatteranon 2 года назад

maybe, but to me it means privacy, a place to just be me. but i can't stay there for too long though.

Living my worst nightmare in mine

@lucian0221 3 года назад

How are you doing now?

@katejones969 3 года назад

I quit office life & clean trains at night on my own now. Best decision ever. Thanks for asking 😀

@lucian0221 3 года назад

Good to hear that.

@ginofoogle6944 4 года назад

So glad i don't have a job where i work in one.. the fucking walls would start coming at me and i'd have a nervous breakdown and start ripping my hear out of my head.

@cathalogrady2331 3 года назад

this is the definition of first world problem and also middle class first world problem 🤦

@marial3231 Месяц назад

Doesn’t make it any less of a “problem”

@godsinbox 2 года назад

why are these jokers complaining? they have the luxury of high wall partitions over the ditch, you get 4.5 foot walls, making it considerable louder and no monitor privacy. they used to be higher, we used to have what was called the 'prairie dog index'. you would make a loud crash in the workspace, and count how many heads pop up over the partition. you would keep records on a leaderboard. fun was ruined.

This is why so many have quit the rat race. It's a death sentence for so many, especially if they are already sick. Hopefully they insurance is worth it.
