Someone asking you if you have a minute for something work related vs someone chatting your ear off about non-work related things isn't the same thing.

- pdimitar 8y agoYou are right, it is not. The interruption and the resulting loss of productivity because of it however is the same in either case. Focused work without interruption must be respected and enforced when needed. If you are bored at work, go ask for more work to do, I'd say. Or do as I did when I was still in offices many years ago: politely and without raising your voice just ask the room directly: "Anyone up for 10 minutes coffee break?". If nobody would respond then I would still go at a balcony drinking my coffee alone. Nobody is mandated to listen to my blabber and I understood and respected that. It's rather amazing how many people didn't though.
