Cubicles

In most corporate environments, people have to work in cubicles. However, there are certain disadvantages to this. First of all, the workers are not entirely clear that they are all as expendable as worker bees. Secondly, bosses can’t clearly see the workers doing things like screwing around on the world wide web when they should be working. The workerhive. A real corporate office should be shaped just like a beehive. Each worker would enter into one hole and have a little office shaped hexagonally (?) just like a single beecomb cell. The worker would slave away in this little office, and he would have other workers right next to him and above him and below him. They would work long and hard and produce lots of paperwork. A big machine would take out an individual stack of office cells out of the hive and scrape off all the work that the workers have done. Some workers would get killed in the process, but that’s okay, because everyone in the corporate world knows that workers are expendable. Just like a beehive, the worker would keep on working until she was dead. Like bees, workers could only escape to gather things needed to make work, like paper and staples. But then they would have to come back right away. This constant working would assure that all workers would be absolutely efficient with no time for eating lunch or going home to sleep. There would be constant talking and gossip-the telltale buzzing and activity of all good hives. Best of all, the top executive of the hive would be constantly catered to and fattened up, workers constantly bustling around.
