Cubicles Don't Work.

I've worked somewhere where they rearranged cubicles regularly. Generally, people would move every year to year and a half. When I left, they had cut my department, and I'd moved my equipment out of one cube into another, and would have had to move all of my servers AND that previously-moved equipment elsewhere.

There were no moves in that company that didn't involve rearranging at least one wall.

Wiring would have been a major problem. I needed lots of juice for all the computers I had in there, as well as a special network connection and an external phone line.

Invariably, this meant that anyone who moved had to spend half a day arranging the new cubicle layout, or more.

Then again, this is the company that owned the building but gave departments money to rent (yes, rent) floor space from some other department in the company. I think its signature product should have been Crazy Accounting Schemes, not Laser Printers.
