GLASS
CAGES
The manager led me around the office floor I’d work on should they hire
me.
“We love open floor plans with glass walls. Less claustophic for our
employees, and the glass reflects natural light. Small areas look bigger.”
As she prattled on about advantages of glass offices, I sorted my thoughts.
The glass separating the desks reminded me of a prison where visitors and
inmates talk through glass. The managers’ glass offices afforded them a clear
view to study their monkeys every move. Or a hospital ICU where rooms with glass
walls are built around nurses’ stations
so they can observe patients. No plants, no pictures, cold and all business. No privacy; everyone can watch you leave to
go to the bathroom.
“Thank you so much for considering me for the position but I don’t think
this company and I are a good fit.
Walking away, I shuddered.
