Arthur Chu added,
A money saving scam at that. One big reason for their rise is to maximize the use of space in increasingly expensive office units. Rising rent has played an underappreciated role in the emergence and persistence of these things.
At least if the goal is just to reduce overhead, that's straightforward. Unwise, perhaps, but straightforward.
It's just easier to pack more people in to an open plan than something with cubicles or regular offices. And we've known for so long that this isn't ideal. Open plan has been hated among knowledgable designers for ages. But the business and management communities like them.
The irony is that cubicles were originally a trendy design fad -- the Productivity Pod (tm), giving every worker their own self-contained ideal work environment at low cost And then they became a symbol of corporate soullessness and everything
Which sucks, because as chintzy as a normal cubicle is compared to the high-tech Productivity Pods they were based on, it's obviously preferable to just not having walls around you at all
