    I worked in a traditional office environment for the full decade before the pandemic, and I was constantly being distracted by “undisciplined” people. There was always someone having a loud conversation in a quiet workspace or coming to my cubical to interrupt me with pointless bullshit.

    Going full remote has finally isolated me from the lack of discipline in office environments.

      Can confirm. Was stuck in an “open office”. It was hell on earth until they decided to build brand new offices for the sales team… Because why the fuck not

        we had a massive no wall cubical farm. To get rid of noise they hung active noise canceling speakers above our cubes. There were times you couldn’t even hear yourself breathing. Was TOO quiet.

        I like the way my office does it. All the engineers and drafters are on the ground floor. The sales guys work in a loft at the back of the building. We keep them in the attic like they would keep dementia patients in the attic back in the olden days.
