Why Open Offices Don’t Work

[porchrat]

These cvnts that decide on these changes are purely on a mission to create their importance and save their jobs.

Just wait till the "New Way" hits your workplace as it has other major world wide business's

It's called a "working Neighbourhood"

And every hour you must pick up your stuff and move to a new desk................I kid you not.

What?

How do you get anything done?

Breaking concentration on tasks to pack up everything and move?

What numpty came up with that gem?

Crazy the crap people can think of. Like in their mind is so full of fairies they can't think like a normal person.

Also went through team building crap at work forcing you to smile and act happy. Never more in my life did I want to kill people.

I never attend any team building event. Fortunately, our IT head who reports to CIO, knows me since ages so she is ok with that. And it is not really mandatory to attend in any case.

Well you secure the HR and deciders jobs for longer than they deserve.

It's a very large world wide medical company.

For what purpose?



When we were still allowed to WFH on Mondays & Fridays, one of our senior managers tried to get monthly online ''coffee dates'' going where team members would get on Teams with a cup of coffee on the last Friday and talk about their month...I wanted to reverse my own birth.

Reminded me of school when the teacher would tell you to stand up and talk about your holiday. I don't care what you got up to and I don't need people at work getting into my personal business.

Thank you, I know which company that is....
Please, if you can, try and move on from that, it's going to ruin your mental health

I hate it so much.

This morning somebody brought a bluetooth speaker and was playing Christmas carols.

FVCK OFF!

Also spot on with how introverts can be run dry in such an environment. There is only so much inane small talk I can endure before my people battery is empty. Then I have one of those care bear supervisors that gets worried when I am quiet and calls me in for a 1-on-1. ''Is everything okay, thestaggy? You haven't been yourself lately''

It is Friday. I have spent 5-days around 100+ people listening to non-stop talking. I am quite literally physically tired of people.

I cannot imagine how I got work done pre-Covid.

Ah the aircon battles we had at my old job.
