The ideal work situation is to be amongst a sea of both adventurousn and knowledge workes. I love seeing both personalities work together to come up with the most innovative techniques or products.
What is Intel is doing with the workspace is great! My ideal work situation is to have a combination of working from home and going to a central office similar to what Intel is doing with their campuses.

Maybe I’m just a 23-year-old Luddite, but I don’t see the advantage in the TVs and Wii/XBOXs at work. Lower cube walls, comfortable conference rooms, open air space all have their merits (and demerits), but my employer doesn’t pay me to be entertained, he pays me to work. Am I missing something here?

Heh. Still missed one. Next to last paragraph. And “..who travel amongst work amongst disparate work spaces”?

To actually answer your question: I telecommute full time for a company based in another state, and I love it. Face time is good, but I can get that by visiting the home office a couple times a year. I used to work for Intel, and there were vague rumblings about this living room program before they laid me off. It’s all in the details, though; I actually didn’t mind the cube farm (though I might now, after working from home), and I think lower cube walls would have done nothing but frustrate and distract me.

Great article. I sent it to my boss. For almost a year now I have been trying to make my cube .. er … I mean workspace more personal. But in the end the sea of blue-grey sinks my island of color.

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for your feedback. I changed the post to be more grammatically correct regarding the its and it’s.

Please learn the difference between its and it’s. Thank you.
