Cube Farm

Noun · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. A disparaging term for an office layout full of cubicles, often implying monotony, bureaucracy, or dehumanizing uniformity. In tech slang, cube farm belongs more to workplace culture than to software itself, but it still shows up in engineering conversation.

    In plain English: An office full of cubicles, usually mentioned critically.

    Example: "The startup promised freedom from the cube farm, then quietly rebuilt the same approval culture in open seating and Slack instead."
