It seems absolutely ridiculous that we have been forced to such lengths just to get some quiet working space.

  It absolutely is, but I am a firm believer in not worrying about things I cannot change, and focusing on things I can change, I guess. If I think about how absurd it is, I just get mad and can't focus.

    You can change it by finding a workplace that respects you.

      My workplace, as I am sure almost all workplaces, does a lot of things that are inefficient, but it's not a matter of respect to me. They respect me by paying me a good wage, giving me opportunities to learn new things and solve interesting challenges, and grow my career (promotions + wages). Call me crazy If my workplace decides they want continue to pay a developer salary and have it be at 20% efficiency, then that's on them to figure it out as long as it isn't effecting my outcomes. At the end of the day, I am there for the exchange of my time for their money. If my workspace begins to interfere with that, then I'll start looking for a new place.
