So all the people in the office on calls are wearing noise cancelling headphones so they can take part in meetings with people who may be in the same office. Even with good noise cancelling they have to be permanently muted if not talking to avoid bleed though noise from the environment. All of the other people around then are forced to wear noise cancelling headphones to cancel out the noise of all the people around them talking into their noise cancelling headphones.
Remind me again which part of this is better than those people just being at home in their own space?
- Tenoke 5y agoThis was mostly just for company-wide meetings (standups and the like). For smaller meetings people would move to a conference room. >Remind me again which part of this is better than those people just being at home in their own space? I didn't argue against remote, simply that having an online meeting which includes people near you doesn't have to be problematic sound-wise.
- iso1210 5y agoIt is a massive problem, especially if people don't mute when not speaking, or if people nearby are speaking at the same time (on a different meeting). Nothing to do with noise cancelling headphones
- themadturk 5y agoConference rooms are a great idea. Unfortunately, while we have multiple conference rooms set up for video meetings, we don't have nearly enough of them.
