I went to this office one day a week. But guys in the neighboring cubicles were playing soccer. Not all day but during times of the day. They seriously had a soccer-ball they played with. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry but it was definitely a detriment to productivity. Collaboration. Soccer yeah
- sateesh 5y agoYou could request them to not to play and be quiet, right.
- dazc 5y agoOr maybe he already knows that the only thing worse than annoying co-workers are co-workers you have asked to keep quiet? I once shared a space with a girl who played dance music quite loudly. I asked her to turn it down a bit and from her reaction you would think I had just kicked her new puppy to death. The following few weeks were frosty, to say the least, and I ended up moving elsewhere.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoRight in general you don't want people to hate you. You want to be polite. You don't want enemies. But if they behave that way to begin with it's not like a simple plea will change their behavior much except for a little while perhaps. Soon they'll be back to their antics playing maybe baseball (just kidding, sounds crazy right but so does playing soccer in the office). They're just not concerned about other people's productivity. The general point is that open-office floor-plan easily leads to distractions like these and can even lead to animosity between co-workers.

- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoI'm not sure if you're being serious or not. The kind of people who play soccer at work will definitely listen to you when you ask them not to do that.
