National Cubicle Day? Really?

Posted on April 28, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Ugh

What sick bastard came up with this holiday?  I was going to go with Superhero Day or Blueberry Pie Day, but this requires a post.  This is a horrible idea for a holiday.  It’s a travesty to the concept!  Cubicles are horrible inventions that drain the soul of whoever is sitting within.  They’re designed so that the person inside cannot see those around them, including a higher up coming towards them.  You live in fear of a figure appearing in the opening that is always in your peripheral vision.  If the walls are low enough, you can peek out like a prairie dog and get caught by a manager for not doing your work.  I always compared these things to three-walled jail cells, but without a personal toilet, bed, and window.  Nightmarish creations.  Only way this holiday should be celebrated is by taking a sledgehammer to a cubicle.

    I think of them as incentive to leave on time and not think about work until I come back on duty the next day.

      I remember the cubicle being something that I had trouble exiting. There wasn’t so much an incentive to leave on time, but a desire to just get out of there. Yet, one would feel trapped. Honestly, they’re such a horrible invention.

    When I was consulting for a Telecommunications company I was assigned a cubicle. Every word you say is the truth. The engagement only lasted 18 months thank heavens.

    Yes, they are a horrible idea. Their only purpose is to isolate. No wonder mental health issues are on the rise.

    Not a new idea; when we had a tour of the old jail in Lancaster Castle we saw the chapel where prisoners would sit in boxes so they could not see each other and concentrate on God and their sins!
