Why cubicles create static in communications

  1. Cubicles are personal spaces open to everyone to violate. You can be busy as long as you don’t want to be disturbed. And if you don’t want a conversation, don’t bat an eyelid, stare right through your monitor.
  2. Cubicles at the far end, with an opaque wall beside and behind, are the most sought-after. The more time it takes someone to reach it, the more time you have to close open application windows.
  3. Cubicles of similar size don’t seem similar due to visual illusion brought on by an inflated ego.
  4. Cubicle occupants close to a door, aisle, coffee vending machine, blind corner are in danger of being rushed to hospital with a deep gash in their skulls, scalding, or other occupational hazards.
  5. Cubicle occupants closest to a cabin are most reluctant to enter it. Conversely, those who are seated farthest hover around the cabin waiting for an opportunity to be ushered in.
  6. Decibel levels of instructions from the cabin are never too low for the fourth cubicle from it to miss any word of it.
  7. Cubicles diagonal to each other have the highest chances of developing animosity.
