Fairly certain he means it as "be in the same room", "be present", "don't be in your high and mighty office". It's a phrase that doesn't actually mean shouting.

- pasbesoin 14y agoTo any of the fair number of us who've worked in "best practice" open spaces, it means exactly that. People standing up and shouting across two rows, for the sake of their own convenience. I'd be careful in the use of such a description. And, overall, the OP reads as a pretty vacuous and narrow-minded post. He's looking for the like-minded, for all the "openness" to which he pays lip service -- that's how it comes across to me. Not much value in my comment, I suppose, other than to point out that, for a fair fraction of us, "within shouting distance" is a quite literal (and unpleasant) experience.
