cubicle farm

Partitioned workspace maze

A cubicle farm is an office space filled with rows of partitioned workstations, evoking the monotony of industrial agriculture.

The term is usually disparaging, suggesting a dehumanizing environment where workers are penned like livestock: I spent ten years in a cubicle farm before going freelance.
