About National Cubicle Day
Real Estate , United States
Ends: Apr 28, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Do you live in a cube farm during the day?
There was a time when the cube walls were high enough to afford privacy. Now it is more likely to be an open floor plan with very little privacy that allows managers always to see everyone. Gone are the offices of middle management. Cube farms leave space for only the most senior people to have an actual door. The "corner office" quest is now the quest for a "door."
National Cubicle Day marks the introduction of cubicles to the workforce on April 28, 1967. Robert Propst is the inventor of the cubicle, and he worked for Herman Miller at the time.
Cubicles were created to subdivide open office spaces and give workers some privacy while promoting the free flow of ideas.
Prior to cubicles, secretarial, knowledge, and low-level workers sat in open rows of desks with little or no privacy. At least cubicles gave them some.
Federal Reserve Bank of New York was the first business to use an office formation similar to the cubicle in 1963. They formed the test case. Cubicles were an improvement fifty years ago. But like the airlines stripping us of our legroom and space, corporations realized they could fit more people into the room if they arranged the desks as tiny boxes, a concept contrary to why they were designed.
Today they are hated by most workers. The creator of the original cubicle (Called Action Office II) had this to say in 1997 after seeing his invention in use. "The cubiclizing of people in modern corporations is monolithic insanity."
As a former cube inhabitant, this writer must agree.
