halficle

The result of a company's attempt to reduce office space they occupy by squeezing their employees into smaller offices or cubicles, often half the size of their previous one. A halficle is a half-sized cubicle.
To save money, our company downsized everyone's cubicles to halficles. Jan is only 4'9" and she can lay across her halficle work surface and touch opposite walls! Our new halficles are so small, I can reach over and answer my neighbor's phone without leaving my chair!
