It's better to work in somewhat noisy environment, where everybody can stare at your monitor, than commit suicide after two years of sitting in dark gloomy gray-walled cubicle without any natural light.
I honestly can't understand people that can work in those depressing conditions.
I would take a pay cut to be allowed to work in a cubicle. (Especially if other people would cut back on the chatter a bit, as typically happens in cube farms as opposed to open offices.)
