After 50+ Years of Service, It’s Time to Retire the Cubicle

I despise open work-spaces. It is distracting. Between slack and open work-spaces, my productivity is significantly lower. This has not changed in a long time. I've read decades of advice on improving this and reject all of it. It just doesn't work with my personality type.

I would prefer temperature controlled sound proof pods, with a small couch that folds out into a bed and my own variable level LED mood lighting. It should have an exterior LED do-not-disturb sign.
