Let me be crystal clear: NO ISSUES ARE RESOLVED by an open office plan, unless your issue is "productivity"
- juunpp 3y agoIt resolves the issue of killing productivity and making most people feel miserable.
- charcircuit 3y ago>NO ISSUES ARE RESOLVED by an open office plan It is easier to communicate with teammates when they are near you. Both communication via words and communication via body language.
- dmitrygr 3y agoPlease acquaint yourself with the term "interrupt overhead". Then with the term "email". I can suggest a number of books on effective communication as well. Few of them recommend randomly interrupting people busy actually doing things.
- charcircuit 3y agoIn the TFA the OP is being interrupted in an office without an open floor plan. I am saying that an open floor plan would make it easier for others to read his body language that he currently does not want to be interrupted.
- dmitrygr 3y agoWhy does body language need to get into involved? It is a simple flowchart. Is a building on fire? Yes? Interrupt. No? Email and trust the person to properly prioritize your email between work items.
- charcircuit 3y ago>Why does body language need to get into involved? Because it doesn't break your concentration to communicate via body language compared to telling someone that you can't talk right now.
- dmitrygr 3y agoASSUME people shouldn’t be interrupted.
