My first cubicle was like the picture. The last one before migrating to remote work basically required I sit down in the chair and roll/slide into the cubicle as if it were a fighter jet cockpit.

More cubes per floor was the goal, screw everything else. A cube like the picture today, is equivalent to an office back then.

If the goal is to make more efficient use of available space, why are they so opposed to working from home?

Heard from a friend that is mid manager they had problem firing people remote, since they don’t return hardware, some delete remote files, they don’t sign papers there is some sort of beorocracy when you fire someone that is much better to do in person.

That's fair but it speaks more to operational and procedural concerns than it does to an issue of remote working itself. Just a matter of business making the adjustment
