Seeing those privacy phone booths makes me so envious. Why must we have these open office hellscapes? Let me shut out the endless racket.

- sbarre 2y agoThose things are fart boxes, and they get unusable by lunch time.

- sbarre 2y agoSome do have fans on top of them but they don't work that well because no one wants a noisy fan blasting in the office..
- DonHopkins 2y agoThink about it from the perspective of outside the box. Would you prefer people pop into the boxes to fart privately, or fart publically in the shared space? At least using them for hotboxing covers up the smell of the farts.
- ghaff 2y agoAnyplace I've been with private offices pretty much had an open-door policy. If you weren't doing something that required privacy, you kept the door open or at some point someone would almost certainly comment.
- stronglikedan 2y agoMy place of work is like that, but I'm allowed to keep my door mostly closed because they keep the place at subarctic temperatures and I keep a heater running all day. Gotta keep the heat in!
- havblue 2y agoI don't envy the prospect of talking to a future employer when you work in a public space. Every day, you frequently respond, "uhhh no thanks" or, "maybe... Hold on I'll call you back" while you step outside the room suspiciously.
