Funny thing about the word “cubicle” it actually comes from Rome/latin where the word “cubiculum” which basically meant small sleeping quarters. Old English changed it to cubicle but it still meant small sleeping chamber. Eventually though it became the horror we know it as today.

A lot of places cite collaboration as the reason people need to be in the office but at the same time, they're adopting open floor plans. It was IMPOSSIBLE in the main office to take a conference call because there was no sound breaks. Everybody talking was just like a massive noise storm and you couldn't hear your calls.
