I prefer this over an open space office. Thank you.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year ago

Same, but after working from home for the past few years there's no way I'd take a job at an office.

WFH > Office cubicle > Open plan chaos

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Open office is basically the company treating its employees with all the consideration they would afford to cattle.

Sweat shop.

Open office I worked at constantly had music playing("Just put on headphones", management being too dumb/selfcentered to understand that that raises the noise floor and makes it so people have to talk louder) and people constantly calling.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

“Just put on headphones”

This is what the people who want to play music should do, though. The problem is, if the management is one of them.

Right! I was like wait you guys get cubicles?!

[-] throws_lemy@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, at least you can sleep without anyone knowing

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Exactly. I wouldn't mind that at all. Instead I have open space with one desk close to one another and people around me have meetings all day long and they just talk to somebody constantly. There are not enough conference rooms for everyone, so there's nothing one could do about it. It annoys me so much that I prefer to stay at home to work, even though I would definitely prefer office if it just wasn't so noisy and annoying.

I'm pretty sure that's code for "understaffed and lots of unpaid overtime".

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

unpaid overtime is such a mind boggling concept to me, if you don't pay me i'm.. not working? like, that's how employment works

Where can I apply for such companies? I'd rather have this office than the open office crap we get these days.

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Right? It was a real meme talking shit about cubicles as white collar prisons. How horribly horribly wrong they were. It's open offices that are the 9th stage of hell as far as I'm concerned.

Willing

Why do people capitalize Random words in their sentences these days?

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My Favorite Is People That Capitalize The First ~~Word~~ Letter Of Every ~~Letter~~ Word For No Reason.

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago

First word of every letter?

Also I believe this is because some text fields are accidentally recognized as name inputs? It seems to happen automatically for my friends sometimes.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

I think I was so focused on making sure to capitalize correctly that I got scrambled.

Why is the desk at bar height. I hate it

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

In my experience every tech job takes place in a former industrial building that has been converted to office space by real estate speculants.

Apparently you need to see exposed brick to code effectively.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

High ~~paced~~ blood pressure, from all the sedentary work

[-] yoz@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Fucking 9-5 HR people needs to understand what 9-5 is.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure I've ever worked a 9-5 honestly. Always 8-5, 8:30-5:30, or random other 9 hour (or more, worked 3/12.5 once) days. If we can't get rid of the 40 hour week I guess I'd prefer 4 10s, but 4 8s would be better.

Don't forget to put those new cover sheets on your TPS reports.

[-] datwillpowerdo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My only real qualm is the chair could be nicer. Still nicer than a lot of the chairs where I work.
