Alas, I suffer both but it's more socially acceptable to blame noise...
- TeMPOraL 8y agoNow you make me wonder - maybe we're not the only ones, but people only talk about noise because the core issue is taboo...
- ken 8y agoI don't know if taboo is an accurate description but I agree that we don't seem to be talking about this issue honestly, on either side. Every manager I've ever had claimed it was about saving money, but when pushed eventually admitted it wasn't really about money at all. It's like everybody is afraid to talk about what it really is about.
