It doesn't matter that you explain that they're interrupting and wrecking your chain of thought; they're just going to keep doing it, and the train has already gone off the rails.
I don't know what the solution is, aside from being blunt about setting expectations and fierce when those expectations are violated trivially. Or exiting to a remote location where one can do work without interruption.
- MattGaiser 5y agoI learned to hide at a past company. I would book small meeting rooms for long periods and work in there. Or go work in the cafe. Even that is superior as while there are lots of small distractions, nobody specifically wants your attention. In the summer I would work outside under a tree. Or as I didn't want a promotion at another company, would come in very early and leave early.
