Empty Echo

There are a lot of vacant cubicles in Cube City right now.

I've worked in many cursed Cube Cities. The same things seem to happen to all of them. We grow too fast, we have massive layoffs, and then we have too much office space and can't afford to drop our lease for a smaller and less expensive space. So we have this empty echo in the big empty building that constantly reminds us of the great devastation we've experienced.

You know Cube City is in trouble when you receive an email announcement about your office being subleased by another company...and then you see a lot of people you don't know who are walking around your Cube City like they own the place. You have to be nice to them too because their sublease is probably the reason you're still receiving a paycheck. It's just weird, and I've seen it happen too many times in too many companies.

Is there an echo in here?
