I do embedded work; I have a workstation, and a board about 70x50cm long, cables, and an oscilloscope. So I cant /really/ shift that to a conference room to wait until whomever stop arguying with his mom... It's not just that tho, even people who move they ass to talk to someone else usualy /stand/ by that someone else, so instead of having a quiet head-to-head, it always become a 'broadcast'. I know that they could at least have signs saying 'quiet space' and all that, but that would fly in the face of the idea they have that it 'improves communication'. It's blatantly false, I have no friggin' clue what 80% of the people are doing in this office anyway...
