I feel strangely satisfying to see articles like these. Soon after I feel comfortable at my new work, it constantly agonizes me working in an open-plan office. It took me a while to overcome the feeling that I'm always broadcasting my screen to the entire company. And the colleagues who want "a second of your time" would no longer send emails, they come directly at you! Worst of all, when people were simply passing by, but you feel that they are coming for you.
At last, I find out that our new office is still an open floor, I should just quit already
- generatorguy 7y agoI am currently one of two people working out of a 2000 sq ft office unit with 5 or 7 offices, boardroom bathroom, kitchen. It’s for sale so probably going to get the boot in 6 months but until then it is ideal.
- ubu7737 7y agoI have a coworker two half-height cube walls away who will stare pointedly at me seconds before he calls out my name to molest my concentration. I have come to find these events blood-curdling. It is simply unacceptable to me that a turned head cuts through my peripheral vision to warn me of what amounts to an assault on the mind. The open office enshrines interruption and creates an environment whereby no moment of reflection is sacred. The neediest, most disruptive, and least productive employees are rewarded for behaving in the most antisocial ways thinkable.
