Meanwhile in the midweast...I went to the H.Q. of an American Telecoms Co. in Omaha (back in '96 the official call centre city of USA) , Nebraska to recieve training in their evil american ways & the cubicles all the ordinary staff (500+)was about 2 foot square ! Just like Dilbert, I may be have been nieve but I've seen Veal in better working conditions !
The IT staff thought they had had it easy 'cos they lived in the server room (noise, flickering lights but slightly more space) they couldn't beleive that in Europe we tend to put servers in the basement and control them remotely !

Viatel Inc.I just remembered they went bust last year so I can slag them off :-unlike European boxes these had 6 foot plus partitions on 3 sides; no chatting with your colleagues. They used to hold up notes on sticks to pass messages to each other - it was so Vic & Bob but scary as real...
