If anyone was curious, $150 for a single straight cubicle wall, up to $1,500 for an "Office Space" style fully surrounded cubicle (inc. desk), and $5,100 for four cubicles (inc. desks and shared walls).

These are all generic grey looking ones, nothing fancy like tempered glass.

Isn't that peanuts compared to other employee overhead costs?
It is, but the management sees staff as a fungible resource. So why treat them well when you have a glut of people wanting to work for you? - so they like to believe.
That is new pricing, you can get great discounts on used, although when companies rip out their cubicles, they figure they'll get good money for them, but they typically sell for pennies, much like most office equipment.

Anyway, I've only heard of companies typically ripping out their cubicles to switch to open flooxplan, or starting out on the cheap, line-em-up, see who fits your culture, ostracize the others.
