Cubicle Life: 8 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle

History is replete with success stories about individuals who got their starts on the lowest rungs of the ladder. Even music mogul and TV personality Simon Cowell first toiled in the EMI mail room.

So take a minute to laugh at our 8 drawbacks to cubicle life and maybe even come up with a few of your own. Who knows, before long you might be CEO of your own business, or at least a freelancer working out of a comfortable home office.

But, until that time, you still need to find creative ways to deal with the fact that your cubicle will never have enough outlets to keep your computer going and charge all the devices you need. And, if you pop for your own power strip, make sure you put your name on it. If you don't, someone from accounting will slap a capital equipment serial number on it and you'll be facing jail time when you try to take it with you when you leave the company. I'm just sayin'.

I understand it if you prefer not to think of your cubicle as slightly inferior to a prison cell, although the two environments do have a lot in common. For example, life long relationships often bloom among folks who work in offices. The same is true in prison. Or so I'm told.
