- joeax 6y agoI once worked at a (open) office where sales people were constantly berating engineers, asking for a feature or pestering for a status update on a feature/bug in progress. It got so bad they installed a wall around that area.

Management can filter out the garbage, condense down the really important bits and deliver them during a time it won't knock dev out of the zone?
