in the 2000s I started a contract with 200 other cubicle workers (software support), but they decided at some point to cut it down to 20... so after a few months it was a cube wasteland with a core of ubercubes - each with 4-10 devboxes and displays for ad-hoc test environments... and it was like that for 8 months then we all got the 'we're not eliminating your positions, but the jobs are going to New Mexico, you want to move to Albuquerque right?' axe.
