It seems like this picture was taken from outside a commercial building with plenty of reflections and light bleed from the real world.
Thanks. I couldn’t figure this out at first.
It's been a while since I stepped foot in the office, but aren't Cubes more-or-less a luxury now with long trestles of no privacy the norm?
Cubes are the norm where I work, except for the marketing department because someone high up there cared more about aesthetics than practicality.
Those ceiling light fixtures look like minecraft clouds
Really cool pic.
That workplace lowkey gives “The Stanley Parable” vibes.
Where's is this place 🤔
Also: when was this place?
Let us not forget to ask: why was this place?
But nobody asks how is this place ...
This thread should have started with what. What is this place. But other than that we did pretty well. Good job Lemmy.
That's the sad thing about most cubicle furniture. We stopped innovating somewhere in the last 30 years, and the cubes in this picture could easily be 40 years old if not for the lack of wear-and-tear. Same goes for carpet and lighting. The only thing that dates it newer than all that is the office chair - we started making those just before the turn of the 21st.
where the fuck is the photographer
I assume they are looking in through a "mirrored" window at just the right anlge and with the right lighting that they are impercievable in te reflection. Or maybe its a double exposure but it looks like cellphone pic quality.
Edit: from the angles i see ad the reflection(?) of branches being so low, i assume the photographer is standing sort of high back left of this image
It's interesting what happens when a business moves out and it costs the bank more to clear a building than to just let it rot. You get a bit of a time capsule.
I miss my own desk. My own space. Now it’s anyone’s.
Scarf down pancakes with extra syrup while you start your day. Sprout mung beans in the drawer. Leave behind a nit comb and a bottle of nit shampoo on the desk. Eat a sesame seed bagel bare handed over your chair.
It will become your own space, I guarantee it.
I fell like everyone else by already does that
The "job 8 hours per day, in a friendly and beautiful workplace"
This is genuinely really cool!
