at first I was excited to come from working at home only cause I was bored working and living in the same space
but wtf I quickly realised why I was so thrilled to start working at home a few years back.
Why tf must every colleague`s meeting/call be taken at their fcking desk. It disturbs everyone around you. There are designated rooms for online meetings so that you do not disturb those around you.
I understand that sometimes you to share your screen from your desk but ffs 90% of times you do not need that at all.
**** drives me crazy

Corporate accounts receivable....

Just a moment....

That’s the most soul draining thing a human can experience. Fluorescent lights beaming at you literally sucking your energy away. Having to walk on egg shells all day being politically correct. Celebrate people’s birthdays you don’t care about. Spend all day in meetings asking what you’re working on and not having time to work on the thing you’re supposed to work on because your having pointless meetings, and then being expected to and having to work on that thing at home.

Lol officecels

We luckily have no fluorescent light and lot of sunglight and I have few meetings I just want to focus on my job.

“Any plans for the weekend?”

Yeah I don't know how a man can get up everyday and endure such a pitiful existence. I would rather die than spend my life in an office doing fat women work all day.

It’s retarded AF.

When I first got hired at my last job we worked in an old dilapidated high rise building, but the setup was awesome. We were scattered between 14 floors, so we all had our own private offices and huge desks.

Halfway through my time there, the company announced that they acquired space in a modern downtown office tower. They spent a year renovating the place and when we finally moved, our private offices were replaced by these rows of “collaboration stations.”

Exactly like this:



The justification was that it’s just the industry standard nowadays and it’s supposed to promote team building.

Fuking bullchit.

We ended up working on top of each other, unable to focus due to loud conversations and everyone could see everything you were doing. No privacy. Just a shiny turd.

Fuk working in an office. There’s nothing more cucked a man can do srs.

Yeah open office space must be brutal. Never worked in one, but it seems like rope fuel. Zero privacy.

Open office space is the absolute worst! I hate it.

**** that, you couldn't even scratch your ass without being spoken to by HR

So Sharon’s birthday is Friday and we’re going to chip in and get her something and meet up at Applebees. Also don’t forget that potluck coming up.

Here were family

they're too lazy to schedule those rooms, walk over to them and set up in there ded srs

did they go Agile and make you do daily standups?
i'm heading there now.
not exactly thrilled but whatever.
that's why they made headphones.

but i feel bad for people around me.
i'm on the phone easily half the day.

They tried doing some weird yoga class chit where the Secretary would yell at everyone to stretch, move your arms in a circle and dumb stuff like that but I think it only lasted a week srs.

i didnt mind open office, but 5 years in, the constant noise started to be too much

somebodys talking, somebodys typing, the AC is constantly there, 1 hour in i felt like i didnt sleep the night

only escape was turning the music in my headphones loud enough to disturb whoever was sitting next to me

I'd work at home in an instant if I could have

lol at how offices aren't even giving people cubicles anymore

Here is the thing about it is those who design this stuff are people who don't work in that environment. The idea that the "open" environment "creates and environment where ideas can be openly bounced back and forth" but in reality it means people can look over your shoulder and be in your business while distracting you. For those of us with ADD it's a nightmare.

Lmfao, this. Brb managers can see what you're doing from across the street down the lane. No thnx Geoffrey. Open office spaces can suck it.
