'No natural light, all day long': Worker quits job because of dismal 'Open Plan' office

We're not totally sure when open-plan offices became a thing, who first thought they were a good idea, or why they thought they were a good idea in the first place, but it's really hard to believe that the 90s pop-culture icon that was the workplace cubicle—once hated as a symbol of the worker's dehumanization as and entrapment—is now something that workers globally yearn for and miss every day… What we would give for even a cubicle (or any sort of space) at the office that we could call our own, a place we could personalize and have even the smallest feeling of seclusion and peace where we could focus and do our jobs. Is it any wonder that productivity increased for a lot of companies when their workers were forced to work from the comfort of their own homes? Honestly, it's almost as if open-plan workplaces intentionally try to rob you of the ability to focus, forcing you instead to stare endlessly into your boss's watchful gaze.

This worker couldn't hack it anymore at their company's open office. The lack of privacy and the complete lack of natural light drove them to a point where they were ready to walk away.
