I'm a millennial so they're tattooed on my back.

That kind of corporate environment is shrinking because it’s not a productive setting. Many companies spend a ton of money to get consultants to design creative and efficient layouts to boost productivity.
Some companies still do it. Soulless insurance companies, customer service reps, and sales people typically
Our office sizes are shrinking, and we are even seeing doubling up in office space. More support activities are moving to shared "common spaces". It sucks.

Getting “paired up” with a millennial SJW girl everyday seems like the highest level of torture

Call centers, operations centers, etc.
Think Office Space... It’s surprisingly accurate
Though as some posters mentioned, companies are shifting more towards open spaces, shared spaces. Even allowing remote work from home but having empty desks available when needed in the office. Offices will look very different in 20+ years

Most state office jobs.

Some of our lower level folks (analysts primarily) sit in a low wall cubicle. That way the rest of us can holler at them out of our doors when we need them.

In my experience a lot of these people work in the production of computer software but aren't skilled enough to actually write the programs.
Computer programmers are a squirelly and expensive bunch, so management tries to control them by hiring a bunch of these business school types to hover over them and make reports.
It's mostly ineffective, but a whole orthodoxy has arisen around it and that kind of thing is hard to argue against.

I was getting trained for a sales job. It was all either cubicles or rooms with windows that faced everyone.
The closest main office where I currently work is loaded with cubicles. There are project managers, regular managers, engineers, accountants, IT guys, etc.
Other than temporarily designing stuff on CAD, I can't do that every day. It makes me antsy and angry. I'd rather lay on the ground in front of the door and get hit in the head every time someone walked in.
Eta: I went to an interview for Ingalls on the wank a while back. When I walked into the engineering floor, I immediately knew I didn't want the job. It was almost sickening seeing people work in that environment. The building had around 100x400' of solid, dimly lit, four-person cubicles

I work in banking. The majority of non-retail (not in a branch) jobs will have you in a cube. There is even a large portion of people with direct reports that are in cubes.

Many years ago I worked at a travel agency. They had cubicles.

Customer Service reps.
When you call a CSR, that person is likely sitting in a cubicle.

I totally believe you because it's so typically corporate.

Many departments of our hospital that have nothing to do with direct patient care have office set ups like this. (Ex: Quality, Compliance, IT, Risk Management, etc.).

Every engineering firm I've worked in had cubicles. (Jacobs, URS, Wink, Audubon)

The idea of offices in large office settings started to fade at least 10 years ago.
Where I work, only Sr. level people get offices. Most people on the floors that have been renovated are in large rooms with small modern desk that they share with several others. We have a glass door and lots of light and there are small huddle rooms we can get into for private calls.
The corporate folks are of course all about saving money by using less space, but the collaboration aspect is also what they point to.
