My biggest annoyance is having people behind me. I can't get rid of that prey feeling of being watched. Super annoying and distracting feeling.
That and motion in the periphery of the rods always serves to get noticed. Headphones also eventually mat down your hair and no matter how comfortable hurt your head after more than a few hours. If these are the "walls" of modern offices, we might as well go back to having a guy atop a chair reading to all us factory workers.
- RogerL 11y agoYa, I mostly gave up on the headphones. I know correlation is not causation, but I've started to get ringing in my ears (the more likely causation is age). I don't do high volume, but these are my ears, no company gets to eff with them. If companies want low productivity and high dissatisfaction, why, they will get it. It's absurd, but its where we are.
- mtviewdave 11y agoI don't think ringing in the ears is a normal part of growing older. I would urge you to get that checked out by your doctor.
- artmageddon 11y agoYou're right that no company should eff with your ears indeed, but You may want to see an ENT doctor for your hearing. That's a little concerning and will only get worse(and not just because of age).
- zimpenfish 11y agoUntil last week, I was sat next to someone who drummed his fingers on the desk, drummed his feet on the floor, and swung on his chair like it was a playground ride. My productivity has shot up since I've moved away from him.
