@xocre8tiv1 You're 100% right. As an embedded hardware/software dev I've already had to change jobs in the past due to projects being outsourced, yes some of them towards low-wage countries. What I've also noticed is that most of my previous employers call me back couple of months later asking (some begging) for my help to fix or even completely redesign the steaming pile of -sh- garbage they ended up receiving. It's not only the low-wage countries that produce crap, as I once saw a swedish made project catch on fire before my eyes. I've noticed that most people in my sector are designers playing around with an Arduino while having zero electronics background whatsoever. This results in them following faulty schematics they find on some forums, ignoring component specifications, safety regulations, emc regulations and so on... Then they're amazed when it's broken after only one week of usage, or only think about the problem that they can't mass produce an end product based on an Arduino or Raspberry Pi as that would be to expensive. So if my employer wants to outsource my job, I would let them do and see how it turns out. In most cases, cheaping out ends badly and more expensive in the long run.
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 I personally find the embedded projects the most awesome. Preferably some pcb design combined with embedded C++ programming, driver programming and Python API development. I've worked in a more frontend position in the past and hated it massively. Especially having to please some egotistical designer got me frustrated as hell... This designer would interrupt me multiple times a day for details he wanted changed, asap. Who the 'F' cares if we use red #f24646 instead of red #f03535 as background if our programs functionality isn't implemented or functional yet...
The company I work for uses teams. I created a 4 hour teams-meeting for 2 times a week with colleague, where we don't talk, but can get some work done because our status is changed to "in a meeting" during that time. Works wonderfully
This is exactly why I hate modern corporate companies, they create a problem and then sell the solution, cubicles are heaven compared to this open office non sense.
Should have mentioned how your invention increases happiness. Because you know you can accurately measure how happy your employees are. I mean no one feels uncomfortable being honest about work conditions with people who can fire them.
Every office should buy a freezer case to prevent workers from disrupting the entire office... or is it the entire office from interrupting the workers... hmmm "Finland, I thought you were better than this." Same here, corporate seems to be spreading to Noridc countries now
sound proof booths are quite expensive... but when you're trying to sell me "privacy" with two sides of the wall being made of see through glass, how is that "private"? Would this man use a public shower if it had two sides of the wall that was see through glass?
Open space inception. A closed spaced inside an open space inside a closed space inside an open space, all for your productivity and to collaborate in privacy.
LMAO. We have these where I work, but to get away from the warehouse noises or calls. The fact they're using these in actual offices is hilarious. Send the office simps over here! Id love to watch them writhe hearing the constant sounds of machinery & belts lol.

Ironically the soulless cubicle is a bastardized corporate interpretation of a concept called "the action office," which is probably the best setups for productivity there is. Idiots with business degrees and blue suits half-understood the idea and implemented it as cheaply as possible, to the point where they had the opposite effect. So then, they took away the cubicles and make everyone work off picnic benches like a T shirt sweatshop in Cambodia. MBA's tank companies and whole economies for pennies in returns, and most of that gain is from eroding society and ignoring externalities.
That happy people that 60% less sick leave is hilarious! That is amazing way of misinterpreting the information that people who are sick aren’t as happy as those who aren’t! Did you know people who don’t have cancer are happier than those with it I think we found the cute guys get happy!
not as big as my patented DomeScreen™. why not take advantage of our special offer and let your entire office share one giant screen for just $2,999,999.99
CEO: What do our employees need? Employees: Offices to work in. CEO: Let's get rid of offices and go to open space. Emp: But we need private places to work. CEO: Let's make a single office everyone has to rotate in and out of all throughout the day. Emp: What's happens if more than one or two people need to use the booth? CEO: Well, you just have to not use it or wait. Emp: That cuts down on my productivity. Can we just get one of these units for each employee to help us be more productive and boost morale? CEO: Well, that's would just be offices for everyone. Emp: Exactly, Darrell. Exactly.
Just go back to offices with walls and doors, like it used to be back in ye olden days. I'd rather have an actual office to work in. Also put in conference rooms. People had actual offices for over 100 years, worked pretty well. Why not go back to them.
I worked in a repair centre of 6 years requiring a certain amount of analysis and research on devices needing repair. This work was impossible to do in the repair centre due to noise and distractions. We were not given an office or space to do this work so I used to go to the smoking room or outside in order to get some peace. This was frowned upon by junior management but go approved by senior management because stuff got fixed due to the analysis and research done in a quiet environment. This was in the days before laptops which would have made the process much easier and less expensive on paper from printing docs and manuals.
So offices. Instead of giving employees offices to make phone calls, have meetings, and focus on their work. They make everyone share a windowed office that offers no privacy visually. You literally just remade an office and handed it back to the employees that need an office in the first place.
Yah, I think I will just work from home thank you very much. If the movie Office Space came out now one of those is where Milton would be in with his red stapler.

Man Josh, it shows you have delved deeper into camera work. The second you came up in the video with your setup, I was stunned for a moment. You have improved in a lot of ways and it shows. Good job!
That guy said “ With LED lighting and a fan circulates the air inside...” ..... that would mean that the LED lights also assist in the circulation of air -_____-
We have one of these in my office, one of exact models you showed in this video. It's great actually, because we're always on zoom calls. You don't disturb everyone else while you're on the call (they're sound proof), which lasts several hours. Mind you, this was an employee suggestion and we were all kinda excited to try it out. It won't fit every workspace or company, and if you're an employee being severely underpaid and overworked it's hard to give af about the new office toy, but it's not always terrible.
So...they take away cubicles, which have the inherent property of being private workstations, in favor of open offices. Then they buy cubicles that you can see through because open offices aren't private enough. Are these people mentally ill?
"If you're not comfortable with your workers napping during work stay away from that setup" bruh nah. I want my employees on site 24/7. gotta have them in the office in case i need them for a meeting at 2am. gimme a wagie cage with a toilet too and we got a deal brah.

What I've also noticed is that most of my previous employers call me back couple of months later asking (some begging) for my help to fix or even completely redesign the steaming pile of -sh- garbage they ended up receiving. It's not only the low-wage countries that produce crap, as I once saw a swedish made project catch on fire before my eyes.
I've noticed that most people in my sector are designers playing around with an Arduino while having zero electronics background whatsoever.
This results in them following faulty schematics they find on some forums, ignoring component specifications, safety regulations, emc regulations and so on...
Then they're amazed when it's broken after only one week of usage, or only think about the problem that they can't mass produce an end product based on an Arduino or Raspberry Pi as that would be to expensive.
So if my employer wants to outsource my job, I would let them do and see how it turns out.
In most cases, cheaping out ends badly and more expensive in the long run.

@@haruhisuzumiya6650 I personally find the embedded projects the most awesome. Preferably some pcb design combined with embedded C++ programming, driver programming and Python API development.
I've worked in a more frontend position in the past and hated it massively. Especially having to please some egotistical designer got me frustrated as hell... This designer would interrupt me multiple times a day for details he wanted changed, asap. Who the 'F' cares if we use red #f24646 instead of red #f03535 as background if our programs functionality isn't implemented or functional yet...
The company I work for uses teams. I created a 4 hour teams-meeting for 2 times a week with colleague, where we don't talk, but can get some work done because our status is changed to "in a meeting" during that time. Works wonderfully
This is exactly why I hate modern corporate companies, they create a problem and then sell the solution, cubicles are heaven compared to this open office non sense.
Holy balls! That TV is your monitor?!

Should have mentioned how your invention increases happiness. Because you know you can accurately measure how happy your employees are. I mean no one feels uncomfortable being honest about work conditions with people who can fire them.
Every office should buy a freezer case to prevent workers from disrupting the entire office... or is it the entire office from interrupting the workers... hmmm
"Finland, I thought you were better than this." Same here, corporate seems to be spreading to Noridc countries now
Ikea must be designing the flatpack version as we speak...
sound proof booths are quite expensive... but when you're trying to sell me "privacy" with two sides of the wall being made of see through glass, how is that "private"?
Would this man use a public shower if it had two sides of the wall that was see through glass?
I would, but I’m an exhibitionist
Prime time for Onlyfans these days!
Open space inception. A closed spaced inside an open space inside a closed space inside an open space, all for your productivity and to collaborate in privacy.
Has a power outlet. So you have to plug it into an existing outlet. How many extension leads snaking over the floor can one office tolerate?
Being an office worker must be a living hell

LMAO.
We have these where I work, but to get away from the warehouse noises or calls. The fact they're using these in actual offices is hilarious. Send the office simps over here! Id love to watch them writhe hearing the constant sounds of machinery & belts lol.
That bag pipe skit
Imagine if a man closed the door on a female bagpipe player
Looks rude as phuque
I worked for a company that used these... you feel like in a zoo when random people wink to you through the glass.
You know your office is terrible when employees WILLINGLY put themselves in cages
Putting wagies in actual physical cagies will increase shareholder returns by .5% in the next quarter... construction has already begun!
Why do you have a whole ass cinema screen as a monitor? My eyes would've instantly disintegrate
He won't, in the next vid. The afterimages on his retinas will be too much.
Degrading employees and making them look stupid is the name of the game.
Josh, I really like your Personal Dome product. I'd like to get one for each of my staff. I haven't found a link to your product page. Where can I order them, and can I get a discount on 100 Personal Domes? Thanks, CEO Drew
Ugh I’m so glad I’m working for myself instead of in an office, even if the money is currently carp.
What is even the point of me learning full-stack web dev when I could have made a box of balsa wood with chairs in it and charge 5k?
EDIT: I don't even need to make my own, you can dropship these from Alibaba XD
And go bankrupt during covid ?
I have a way of working without disturbing anyone in my office: stay at home.
"Privacy" yeah sure... when they monitor all your material, activities and movements, except for your own phone and pockets.
Well...there are apps that companies force you to download to "monitor" your work.
@@ambientlightofdarknesss4245 Damn!
Except ?
Can we just talk about the new shooting angle and the video quality? It feels like I'm watching a movie. Astonishing work man.

Ironically the soulless cubicle is a bastardized corporate interpretation of a concept called "the action office," which is probably the best setups for productivity there is. Idiots with business degrees and blue suits half-understood the idea and implemented it as cheaply as possible, to the point where they had the opposite effect. So then, they took away the cubicles and make everyone work off picnic benches like a T shirt sweatshop in Cambodia.
MBA's tank companies and whole economies for pennies in returns, and most of that gain is from eroding society and ignoring externalities.
The engineer in me says you can use some 2x2s and 4x8 1/4" thk plywood sheets and give everybody a private office with a fraction of the cost...
Fire regs would be the limiting factor in this plan.
The purpose is to provide a quiet place.
Imagine working at an office cage and they give you a bar stool. Not even an office chair with a backrest.. wtf
The upgraded versions should have locks on the outside of the cages
How are these "private spaces" IF THEY HAVE GLASS WALLS????
I WANNA SCREAM
That happy people that 60% less sick leave is hilarious! That is amazing way of misinterpreting the information that people who are sick aren’t as happy as those who aren’t! Did you know people who don’t have cancer are happier than those with it I think we found the cute guys get happy!

Shit like this convinces me that we are living in a Sci-fi dystopia beyond that which even the best satirical writers could imagine.
As someone who is a SOUND ENGINEER. This is great. Otherwise, what's the point
CEO: What do our employees need?
Employees: Offices to work in.
CEO: Let's get rid of offices and go to open space.
Emp: But we need private places to work.
CEO: Let's make a single office everyone has to rotate in and out of all throughout the day.
Emp: What's happens if more than one or two people need to use the booth?
CEO: Well, you just have to not use it or wait.
Emp: That cuts down on my productivity. Can we just get one of these units for each employee to help us be more productive and boost morale?
CEO: Well, that's would just be offices for everyone.
Emp: Exactly, Darrell. Exactly.
Just go back to offices with walls and doors, like it used to be back in ye olden days. I'd rather have an actual office to work in. Also put in conference rooms. People had actual offices for over 100 years, worked pretty well. Why not go back to them.
I worked in a repair centre of 6 years requiring a certain amount of analysis and research on devices needing repair. This work was impossible to do in the repair centre due to noise and distractions. We were not given an office or space to do this work so I used to go to the smoking room or outside in order to get some peace. This was frowned upon by junior management but go approved by senior management because stuff got fixed due to the analysis and research done in a quiet environment. This was in the days before laptops which would have made the process much easier and less expensive on paper from printing docs and manuals.
So offices. Instead of giving employees offices to make phone calls, have meetings, and focus on their work. They make everyone share a windowed office that offers no privacy visually. You literally just remade an office and handed it back to the employees that need an office in the first place.
Yah, I think I will just work from home thank you very much. If the movie Office Space came out now one of those is where Milton would be in with his red stapler.
Wtf. Just go to your local hardware store and pick up a garden shed for $2k. It's roomier and comfier than any of this.
As an investor, I like the dome idea, but the 45% peripheral vision reduction is a bit less. We need upto 69% reduction XD
Just give those 10 million on research.
It's not that this exists, that's to be expected, but that there is a market for SEVERAL companies to make them... that's mind-blowing. Someone get these guys on shark tank so they can get a stern talking to
The only thing its missing is a toilet and sink on the side! 😂😂😂
You seem happy Josh, I'm happy to see that the changes you made to your life are having an effect on your well being. Keep bringing the awesome content :)
It's corporate coffin, that's what it is.
These things are very useful when putting in stations and malls, where I can do work undisturbed for a reasonable fee.
But inside an office? What?
"capitalism breeds innovation"
the innovation:
Removing walls and assuming the market is hot for open concept spaces. Then sell the privacy pods that you can see through.
I am 100% remote. I have a large home office with a couch, my dog and a large roomy walnut desk. My office has a view of the San Pablo and San Francisco Bay and the hills. Now, you want me to drive 2 hours, to make me work in a phone booth? I am in my 60's, I work in biotech. I have a college degree. No, I am not working in a phone booth or picnic table. NO
This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and I've seen so many stupid things...
This comment section though, it's pure gold!
Weren't they using this stuff back in the day in "Get Smart"? That was satire. Now we get it in reality....."Drop the Cone of Silence!"
We've officially become the world of IDIOCRACY.
We looked at these during the start of COVID, we wanted self-contained cubes with separate ventilation for people we had to have in the office. It’s hard to have wet chem lab at home, the EPA and DEA frowns on home chemistry experiments.
Once you put your people in these glass cages, they won't be able to do any funny business either.
Man Josh, it shows you have delved deeper into camera work. The second you came up in the video with your setup, I was stunned for a moment. You have improved in a lot of ways and it shows. Good job!
Never trust anyone who tells you they do honest business. That shouldn’t need to be said.
Joshua is such a breath of fresh air, giving me a little bit of sanity everyday
That guy said “ With LED lighting and a fan circulates the air inside...” ..... that would mean that the LED lights also assist in the circulation of air -_____-
We have one of these in my office, one of exact models you showed in this video. It's great actually, because we're always on zoom calls. You don't disturb everyone else while you're on the call (they're sound proof), which lasts several hours.
Mind you, this was an employee suggestion and we were all kinda excited to try it out. It won't fit every workspace or company, and if you're an employee being severely underpaid and overworked it's hard to give af about the new office toy, but it's not always terrible.
For the price of 4 medium cubes you can buy a studio apartment in Finland.
Medium is which one? One for 10k $?
In Saint Petersburg there are studios for 30k $
So...they take away cubicles, which have the inherent property of being private workstations, in favor of open offices. Then they buy cubicles that you can see through because open offices aren't private enough. Are these people mentally ill?
Haha I couldn't stop laughing.. made my day! 😂
CEOs took a look at how small modern day cubicles are and said nope we can do better. Let's put them in phone boots instead.
4:17 I'm getting some money laundering vibes.
I could only see this as a portable music practice room.
"If you're not comfortable with your workers napping during work stay away from that setup" bruh nah. I want my employees on site 24/7. gotta have them in the office in case i need them for a meeting at 2am. gimme a wagie cage with a toilet too and we got a deal brah.
I would like to have one of that rooms in my job.
Locking myself and screaming any kind of slurs
on top of my lungs and vocal cords would be a good relief.
In other purposes it's a cringy "wage cage"
This looks great for a hotbox, but too expensive.
imagine you use the booth at work to do an interview for a new job, how ironic would that be
