But you spent a lot of money last year on consultants that hyped you up on the creative and innovative energy that open plans bring and your CFO made a nice spreadsheet on how much you save on office furniture versus the cost of a new yacht. Who are you going to believe, your sunk cost friends or your ongoing cost employees that should be much more grateful to even have a job in this economy?~

Cubicles take up more space per employee than a typical open office plan. You won't be able to fit the cubes in there.

Also, cubicle furniture is extremely expensive, so your manager or the company executives will not look kindly at this purchase request. Expect a poor review.
