I hate cubicles. They’re not just depressing - they’re demeaning, especially when other employees have their own private offices on the same floor. If most of the employees work in a cubicle, the CXOs should, too. Share the pain.

Private meetings can be taken in a conference room.

Andy Grove used to work in a cubicle at Intel, as this 1995 Fast Company article describes.
