No. The noise is the businesses responsibility to resolve, not the individual employee. We need spaces which take the needs of employees into account first when creating work spaces, not finance people masquerading as office space gurus.
- meddlepal 7y agoSort of, the noise is also your problem to solve if you want to be productive and keep your job in the long term. It's not just the companies problem. Especially as more companies move to this model it's not like you can just leave for a different gig with quieter space as it might not exist. Therefore you must also adapt.
- birdyrooster 7y agoIf by adapt you mean quit, then it wouldn’t be the first time.
- Aeolun 7y agoIt should be, but what do you think the chances are that that is actually going to happen? Therefore it falls to yourself to improve your environment.
- jefftk 7y ago> The noise is the businesses responsibility to resolve, not the individual employee. This may be a reasonable view for a large company, but they're talking about their experience at a three-person startup. At that scale if there's something that needs to be different you have to step up and change it yourself, and set the culture for the company you're building.
- CydeWeys 7y agoIn a three person company, every problem is every person's responsibility to solve. Especially if you're the only one having that problem!
- seppin 7y agoThis is one of the reasons I love small companies
- mytailorisrich 7y agoWhatever the size of the company, noisy environment is usually the consequence of the choice of office space, as exemplified here. An employee cannot change this, only suggest.
