It looks like the vote is in
and the verdict is that cubes suck. I work in a cube farm and I can verify that conclusion. You can't get any work done and I can't even have a phone conference because of the noise and when they are working they complain about my phone conferences bothering them. Notice that the idiots that want cubes don't have them for themselves. They are just another way to say "we don't trust you and we are too cheap to give you a real office".
What we need are offices with a central gathering place with all the acoutraments for collaboration that everyone has to walk through entering and leaving the office area. This would give everyone their privacy and a chance to get together and brainstorm when needed.
