An innovative idea to increase productivity and reduce costs in the workplace The post Tribicle appeared first on .

I work in a school, so this doesn’t apply to me. But a good idea is a good idea, and when one hijacks my brain—as good ideas frequently do—I feel it is my responsibility to share it with the world.

Walls are expensive. It’s far cheaper to purchase or rent a large open area and scatter cubicles across the entire space. Cubicles create individual work areas that provide privacy for the 287 employees working in close quarters. They allow people to have private phone conversations, change clothing (midday outfit changes are essential in cubicle-based offices—fashion is paramount), and prevent food odors from wafting into neighboring workspaces.

The cubicle was a great idea.

But now, allow me to introduce the tribicle.

A tribicle is exactly what it sounds like: a cubicle, but with three sides. Get it?

Benefits of the Tribicle

  • Cost savings
    If one cubicle costs $10, a tribicle costs only $7.50.
  • Increased capacity
    The area of a square is greater than the area of a triangle (Length × Width > ½ × Base × Height). Smaller workspaces mean more tribicles, which means more employees.
  • Structural confidence
    Triangles are the strongest shape in the world, which is why they’re used in bridge construction. While tribicles won’t be holding anything up (making strength technically irrelevant), the feeling of strength will permeate the office.
  • Educational enrichment
    Employees can now casually use words like isosceles, hypotenuse, and equilateral during water-cooler conversations.
  • Productivity boost
    Workspaces can be referred to as Triforces (from Zelda). References to Zelda are scientifically known to boost productivity by 64%.

If you’re looking to cut costs, increase room capacity, promote strength, spark intriguing conversations, and maximize productivity, then tribicles are for you.

You’re welcome.
