90's/early 2000's movies and pop culture always portrayed cubicle work as a dreary existence. I bought into it back then, but now that I'm older, I know that it was all a lie. Cubicle work is the dream. I work face to face with people all day and I hate my life so much. How can I get a cubicle job, one where I typically don't have to interact with people, unless it's to tell dick jokes around the water cooler? Anybody have suggestions? I imagine more and more cubicle work is being outsourced these days, so this question might be hard to answer.

Still want some real answers. If you guys didn't notice, I gave this thread a "serious" tag. So, you can go ahead and take your cheap jokes to the pawn shop, but you won't get much for them there either.

Having your own cubicle is tons better than having to share a cubicle or desk. What else would people have if not a cubicle? Their own office? The ideal work environment is your own cubicle, shared private offices your can use if needed, and the ability to work from home a few times a week.

No. 6 posted:Having your own cubicle is tons better than having to share a cubicle or desk. What else would people have if not a cubicle? Their own office? Yeah, your own office so you can close the door and people don't loving bother you and you don't need to listen to other people on the phone. Which I've had a few times, then we went open plan because it was cheaper than building out the new office properly, which is basically the only reason any business does open plan in 2015. But I have a corner cubicle with my own window, so basically I can do WTF I want when I'm not busy and still check out the office hotties. poo poo owns, by open plan standards.

Mad Monk posted:Why do you work for a living if you kill yourself working? Like most of my generation, I was brought up on the saying: 'Satan finds some mischief for idle hands to do.' Being a highly virtuous child, I believed all that I was told, and acquired a conscience which has kept me working hard down to the present moment. But although my conscience has controlled my actions, my opinions have undergone a revolution. I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs to be preached in modern industrial countries is quite different from what always has been preached. Everyone knows the story of the traveler in Naples who saw twelve beggars lying in the sun (it was before the days of Mussolini), and offered a lira to the laziest of them. Eleven of them jumped up to claim it, so he gave it to the twelfth. this traveler was on the right lines. But in countries which do not enjoy Mediterranean sunshine idleness is more difficult, and a great public propaganda will be required to inaugurate it. I hope that, after reading the following pages, the leaders of the YMCA will start a campaign to induce good young men to do nothing. If so, I shall not have lived in vain.

When I first got to my job I shared a big cubicle with 3 other people for a year and it was pretty fun. Now obviously I'm in my own cubicle and it's very boring OP. A lot of people just hide in their cubes and there's no interaction. It's very annoying and hard to get things done unless you physically invade their cube if you need something. Also op when you get a cube job please don't be one of the guys who eats lunch alone in his cube. Edit: oh to answer your question I'm an engineer.

op i dont mean to dissuade you on your journey, but i feel that finding happiness means loving who you are. jobs and locations and other people can change or go away, but we all have to live with ourselves. fleeting things might make us happy, but they are only temporary. ihope you get what you desire, but i also hope you find contentment with the person you are, okay?
