If you examine the percentage of time you spend conscious and
where you spend it, you may start to realize that a vast majority
of your time is spent boxed up in a cubicle at work. Yes, the
universalist cubism that runs rampant throughout the first five
pages of CIO magazine which extols the virtues of "open space" and
"group-think" and
(shudder) "egalitarianism" sounds fine... but that's only
what they tell you to try to sell you on the idea that your hamster
cage doesn't come with a wheel. The reality behind the scenes is
the
"productivity-thought-hours-per-square-inch-per-cost-center-dollar-spent-per-revenue-dollar-made"
discussion that inevitably happens between the CFO and the
CIO as they plan where to stuff all of the worker bees is what it's
truly about...
Lower costs, higher revenue... at the expense of the hamster.
There is nothing more emblematic of capitalism than the
modern IT department yet there is nothing more socialistic than a
cubicle farm. This dichotomy is exposed to its greatest extreme
with my new project: The Red Mahogany Luxury Paneled Cubicle with
Dark Cherry Hardwood Floors.
Take a look!
