A few years ago, the company I worked at was switching from offices to an 'open floor plan', and the noise and anxiety dropped my productivity to near zero, so I tendered my resignation. It was the longest I'd ever held a job (and still is), so I didn't enjoy leaving, but I had no choice. My coworkers held a little going-away party for me, and gave me a custom trophy they'd had made with my (IRC) name on it -- just for being me. So I feel confident in saying that, back when I worked in software, my coworkers enjoyed my presence, and management put up with me.
