On: The Open-Office Trap

[Florin_Andrei]

I've always wondered what would happen if I told management "you guys made us work in a Dickensian sweatshop floor plan? Okay, how about I bring my own cubicle from home, and install it around my place here? I'm pretty good with DIY projects, you guys don't have to spend anything, I'll just fix the problem on my own. I'll paint it in the corporate colors and all, don't you worry."

Going a little too far. Just ask to install a TV. After all, noise and distraction are supposed to be good, right?

You joke, but the powers that be installed a TV in our office blaring CNBC just feet away from where developers are trying to work. This was considered an "upgrade" to our space.

You don't sound like a team player.

To be honest, I read that in the voice of a character from the Office Space movie. You know, the guy with thin-rim glasses and suspenders.
