☆ 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.

☆ Inside the ‘Envy Office,’ Reporters Find a Trend, and a Story
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Megan Ditrolio | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Instead of the tech-bro campuses of the mid-2000s, workplaces were starting to look more trendy, sophisticated and hospitality-adjacent. The questions Anna and I first discussed were: What’s the next phase of office design? The Envy Office looks less masculine. Do these workplaces feed into a better office culture or boost productivity? Everything from the way a hallway is designed to the inclusion of plants can shape people’s behaviors and emotions in any space.

  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Temple University is eliminating free tuition for graduate students who participate in a strike. In a statement, Temple confirmed students will be denied tuition benefits "while they are on strike." On average, such workers make $19,500 a year, according to the Temple University Graduate Students' Association (TUGSA), a union that represents nearly 750 affected workers. Stephen Orbanek, director of communications at the university, told Insider that those who choose to participate in the grad-student strike will be denied not just their pay but their tuition benefits. Temple is not the first institution to cancel health benefits for striking employees.

He was still a teenager when, a year after his school went under, he graduated to a new form of state supervision. Inmates walk the hallways during a media tour of the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 7, 2015. And such violations have bloated the probation system, with roughly 250,000 people now subject to restrictions on their freedom. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner listens during a press conference announcing Danielle Outlaw as the new Police Commissioner on December 30, 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State Senator Katie Muth was elected in the 2018 "blue wave," defeating the incumbent Republican.
