    The most brutally fast-paced work environment I’ve ever had looked almost exactly like this

    Just double the monitors and make it an open office concept, and it’s a dead ringer.

      I hated cubicles until I discovered open offices, then I just plainly hated offices:
      hated water-cooler conversations,
      hated the smell of reheated meals,
      the unending birthdays of people I spoke to once a year,
      the parties and outings that are secretly interviews,
      the idle people that are always looking for killing time chatting,
      the busy people looking for a nasty rumor to climb higher,
      I hated commuting and hated having to stay longer just so everyone thinks I’m working hard,

      But above all, I hated the middle managers that want to both be your friend, your boss and the person that will fire you to cover a fuck up.

      I think the picture is missing several people from upper management hovering behind the chair?

        In my specific case that almost never happened. Logistics role, so super busy and intense, but you’re very much left to your own devices

        I kind of miss the atmosphere now that I’m in a very different role, tbh. I do not miss the pressure tho.
