"Cubicles don't exactly block noise or ensure privacy. The higher walls do make it harder to collaborate though; there's rarely enough room inside one for someone to sit next to you. When I need to focus to get something done I work at home, where I can eliminate all distractions and create a work environment exactly to my liking. The whole point of going to the office is my co-workers are physically there and I can collaborate with them, and the office environment ought to be conducive to that." - Eric P
