A
symbol of the perceived
interchangability and
insignificance of
workers by
higher-ups. Bestows the
illusion of a
quiet space and
privacy, but not the
reality due to the lack of anything resembling a
ceiling or
door. Also supposedly a means of keeping
workers from
chatting with each other, but this is usually circumvented via
e-mail.
(I wouldn't be caught dead in one of the things. Could you tell?)
