☆ I'm a millennial who thought cubicles were a dreary relic from the '90s — then I realized they can be social and personal

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with Sydney Baker, 27, about her experience working in office cubicles. AdvertisementBaker's first office cubicle space. People think cubicles are dreary, but decorating them can make them light and brightMy preconception about cubicles was that they didn't get a lot of sunlight. I also like that cubicles can be social, but you also have the flexibility to not be social when needed. I've never worked in an open-plan office but think I'd prefer the privacy cubicles affordI've toured open-plan offices but never worked in one.

Public transportation I've taken in Luxembourg always gets me where I need to go. I love public transportation, including the Niederkorn railway station. Sydney BakerPublic transportation might be my favorite perk of Luxembourg living. I now read for class, study languages, or just relax on the train on the way to campus. I've also saved money by not driving — and I still would've even if I had to pay for the buses and trains.

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.
