☆ Bring Office Cubicles Back; Improve Employee Productivity, Hybrid Work
  + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Kelli María Korducki | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
In a memorable montage from the 1999 workplace satire "Office Space," Peter Gibbons, a fed-up office drone, decides to take a stand. For years, the office cubicle was the four-walled avatar of corporate disaffection. Late '90s films like "Office Space," "Fight Club," and "The Matrix" enshrined its detested status. The tech boom arrived, bringing with it open office plans and a Silicon Valley-led gloss of egalitarianism, epitomized by Google's high-profile headquarters redesign in 2005. The top comment on the "Office Space" cubicle clip on YouTube captures the irony of this shift: "I would have killed for a cubicle," the commenter wrote.

Unsurprisingly, the cuts have gone down badly with remaining Google employees, with some lashing out at the tech giant's "boring and glassy-eyed" leaders. "The reason they're taking it harder is that it's not a feeling of 'Google doing what Google has to do.'

☆ Resentment is mounting as some employees are forced back to the office and some are allowed to work from home
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Samantha Delouya | Avery Hartmans | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Some workers are being forced to return to the office while others are allowed to stay home. "If you're offering two different types of employees different access to work, you potentially create an issue of equity," said Thomas Roulet, an associate professor of organizational theory at the University of Cambridge. To be sure, not all workplaces unevenly apply in-person work requirements: Some allow workers the choice of returning to the office and, if so, how often. Why are some employees allowed to work from home while others are required to come into the office? "Companies are experimenting to see if something works, and many employees need to be just as flexible in giving it a shot," she said.
