Team room culture - long hours, low satisfaction

There is one thing I absolutely hate about today's working environment. On projects, I sometimes work in the so-called "team rooms"

These creatures are usually 10 feet x 10 feet rooms without windows (although sometimes smaller), originally designed as storage. They have found another use - to host unwelcomed guests. Working conditions can be compared with those experienced by child laborers at the start of the industrial revolution. Usually 5 people cram into those boxes and labor for 16 hours a day

They make my life less pleasant than they should be, and make my workdays 3 hours longer, on average. In my opinion, they are special structures designed to humiliate every worker, except for the manager. Managers like team rooms, because they can keep annoying each person, and shout to them whenever they want

A much better setting is separate desks for work, and rooms designed for meetings only. That'd allow much better concentration and employees can work at their own place. After all, The much-laughed cubicles may not be too bad
