cubiculture is fun, if you have the right mindset. For a little while it can be really great to watch the marketing newbies immitate the executives and assimilate their cues in order to impress the boss -
It's hillarious to watch conversations between the engineers and marketers, the false pretense that is so very understood, but still ignored since, well, it's how things are supposed to work. And then they go and bitch to the other like members of the company and never realize that they actually were agreeing, just not explaining it the same way.
It's fun to bend the stilly norms and watch to see who gets upset. Come in at 10 and leave at 7, I bet the CEO still thinks you're not putting in the effort, since he leaves at 5 and so do all the important people. Wear loud clothes, dye your hair, and get things pierced, there will be some surpising revelations when a couple of the execs start cheering you on, living vicariously through something they turned away from in order to get their position.
Office Space rocks, but nothing beats real-life cubiculture!
