      You can sort of make out our sign on the door. This is the engineering office in Phoenix. I'm here temporarily to get this team squared away.

      Closing offices in some other locations. Opening one in Guadalajara. There is a Dallas office already, that's US HQ.

        That's the cubicle area. My private office is just to the right. CEO's door is the one you can just barely see.

        Man I really dislike cubicles. I worked in an open floor space (where the center was a work bench) three people in the room on phones was enough to drive someone crazy.

        This is how all of DropBox is... everyone was wearing headphones while working.. talk about disconnected.

        And I agree - I dislike cubeland.. I've worked there before, and if I get another job I assume I'll end up there again.

        I think headphone makers invented cubicles to sell noise cancelling headphones.

        LOL what would the alternative be? walls? tiny offices?

        Oh yes, no walls (that's HELL) or tiny private offices are the alternatives.

          I am a huge fan of having loads of small, cozy private offices. Not for everyone, but almost everyone. Team assistants maybe not, not receptionists. But even executive assistants need private space.

          I've worked in wallless places, you can't do anything.

            again, this was DropBox.. there was no private spaces there... from what I could tell they were as close to paperless as one can get.. any paper a person did have, it had to travel anywhere they went.

            Conference rooms were scaddered all over the place when you need a semblance of privacy,

              We are pretty paperless. Since the team is global, paper is mostly useless.

                  Thanks. It's nice to be getting out of IT, too. Time for a change of pace.

                    @fuznutz04 I like keeping it clean and simple. No distractions.

                    My desk isn't what I had completely envisioned... but it's what I built, so I'm happy other wise.

                    But with space for two laptops, desktop with three 24inch monitors, an old typewriter, the HF radio, and space to work... is nice.

                      So not doing stuff for NTG or any IT at all any more?

                        Mostly out of IT. Operations and Engineering now. The CIO of the new company will report up to me, though.

                            Hard to imagine you as "the idiot that used to do tech"

                              Sounds like a nice change of pace.

                                  What I find hilarious is that you're going to know straight off if your CIO is totally BS'ing you or not, just based on your background in IT. Just tell me they're not getting their CIO from SW please.
