The open-plan areas at my company are kept limited in size. Our area seats about a max of 14 people and right now we have 10 people. Everyone has their own movable standing desk and the company provides pretty good noise-cancelling headphones if you want.
Given the limited amount of people and decent sized area, there is a good amount of space between desks and the noise level never really gets that high since there aren't really that many people around.
- rpedela 8y agoI think we need another word for that. It isn't really the definition of "open office" that is usually discussed. Open office typically refers to 10s or 100s of people in the same room. <= 10 is something else because that is small enough for everyone to respect each other's space, ears, etc even when on top of each other. I have had a few jobs with that particular set up and I never had a problem with it. However I have never liked larger open offices.
