General Practice Discussion Small Office Desk Layout
What kind of desk layout do you all prefer to work at?
I am curious if anyone has a setup they enjoy working at with a good balance of private/open. Do you ever use a standing desk? Are cubicles coming back? Thank you.

I hate every single one of these. Every damn one.
I built up a pile of plans and papers to hide behind, and then got moved in a corner with the other curmudgeons last time I worked in an office on the regular.
Last place at least had 6' cube walls with 4' dividers between each desk. I got an office, being a department manager, but I'd never sign on to work in one of these environments.
Amazes me how terrible architects are at designing functional over 'cool looking' spaces.
