Yeah, quitting would definitely be an overreaction.
How about telecommuting? Let your manager know that noise levels really bug you given where you sit, and ask for a trial run. Then use the trial run as an entry point: code at a coffee shop or library, then add your manager to the commit. Voila! Evidence that telecommuting lets you produce!
FWIW, I occasionally do this, (and my manager is very supportive of it) but I've found in-ear headphones to be sufficient.
- Paul_S 14y agoTelecommuting isn't on offer. Back in the 80s, when they promised that by year 2000 almost everyone would be working from home, they were lying. I feel more cheated on this than on personal jet-packs. I don't work in a startup, it's just a boring old medium sized company. You have to be at the office 10-5, no exceptions. Did I mention I'm not in the US? Sad.
