      that place sounds exactly like Drop Box, only a little smaller. I visited Drop Box last year.. glass conference rooms, open floor plan, almost no cubicals, everyone wearing headphones.

      free lunch/drinks/snacks everyday... etc.

          I've saw a lot of this debate on various forums. "Will on-premise IT support be replaced by MSPs and/or the cloud?" MSPs displacing (not replacing)

          I would says that's sensationalized. Sure it will happen at many SMBs but it's not something that is going to happen everywhere. especially not in the Enterprise sector.

            Headphones are the new cubicles.

                  You guys. The Cloud to Butt plugin makes this thread hysterical.

                      I think that there is a big missed opportunity in the opposite, a butt to cloud plugin.

                      Kiss my cloud!

                      Check on the cloud on her.

                      And so forth.

                                I'm happy with having my own office. I don't even like cubicals, I get distracted too much.

                                  I don't use it as a cubicle as much as I do a brick wall. I don't always have my headphones in, but I do more often now. Our office is unusually silent. So the little noises irritate me. On the flip side, I worked in a loud environment and would put them in to block out the noise so I could concentrate (ironic that you block noise with noise).

                                  I also wear headphones to block out users. We have an open door policy, but I sit with my back to the door so when they see my headphones in, they just turn and leave. Sometimes I put my headphones in, even without music playing, just for that reason. Otherwise I would never get anything done.

                                      That's why people like them. Cubicles are the "go to" for people looking to talk to friends at the office and have a solid excuse for why they did no work.

                                        I'll actually agree with that. Having an actual office, even if it's no bigger than a cubical, with a door is definitely helpful in my ability to concentrate.

                                          Yeah, I'm totally useless with cubicles or an open plan. If I hear people talking, I can't think. And cubicle plans means that someone is always talking about gambling or sports. Always. It never ends.
