The merger at work was called off. I'm not really sure what the issue was.
The partners went this morning to look over some things with our new office space. It has cubicals for everone except managers and partners.
To me it doesn't really matter, but the cubical aspect seems to be an issue for some.
Does it really matter?
Re: cubicals or offices?
Offices are cooler than cubes.
We are set up the same way that you will be. Managers and higher ups get offices, and the rest of us get cubes.
Right now we're in offices. Until last month we had split offices (2 per office) with a cubical like wall between the desks. When they restructed, and let some people go, there was enough offices to have one per office. We took it upon ourselves to spread out. We didn't get permission, and only the uptight jr. partner got mad.
We will have several conference rooms (3 or 4). I usually go in there for private calls, or to call clients.
Cubical is a banned word at my place of employment (the maker of such things).
Work stations, work environments, offices....all accepted terminology
I'll mention that we don't call them the "C" word!!!
That's how it is where I work. Managers and directors, etc. are the only ones with real walls and a door.
I've never had an office. If I had one and had to go back to a cubical, it'd prob be hard.
