The tweet of Mike Beckham has gone viral on the internet and has garnered over 127K likes. Netizens took to the comments section to share their cubicle stories. One user commented, "The years I spent in cubicles were the worst years of my life. Any attempt to humanize this crappy, corporate human containment facility should be celebrated." This was my cubicle in the Pentagon before I retired. We later added a bistro table and chairs adorned with some bottles of zero-alcohol wine," wrote another user. Another user wrote, "I swear I’m the only person in the world who prefers going to the office. Why would I wanna make home a place where I think about work plus I like talking to my colleagues all day."
Love it! For those shouting about 100% remote work, nothing beats time together with colleagues at least some of the time. We are human, not machines, as demonstrated by this cubicle. And I agree that a cubicle beats the horror of open work plan.

I'm wondering what kind of stuffed animal is this. 4 legged spider ? pic.twitter.com/UDTjHNDJE5

I once pranked someone who turned 40 by turning their cube into a graveyard. Faux turf, headstones, (including one for the prankee), fencing, spider webs, ghosts suspended from above, and I enclosed it from the ceiling-down in black vinyl so it was dark. Good times.
