A style of open-plan office. Following on from the cube farm (and in no way an improvement on it), the pod features low partitions (accidental eye-contact with neighbours becomes possible and effectiveness as a noise barrier is reduced to a minimum), no privacy and next to no storage space. Bookshelves are a luxury accorded only to those whose portion of the pod happens to abut a supporting wall.

Etymology: viewed from above, workers bear a striking resemblance to peas in a pod.
