Open plan is the worst. I don't need all my co-workers to see me scratching myself.
The half-walls we have are lower than the webcams on the monitors. Which means they pick up EVERYTHING so people have to mute until they have something to say. I had a meeting that included someone like 10 desks away and I just muted and talked through their mic
Half our computers didn't have webcams, so people would do the meeting on their phones instead, and many of them didn't have headphones, so the meeting would be a bunch of echoes around the room. Fucking ridiculous. And the stupidest part was that it was an office in a manufacturing facility and we all worked hybrid schedules. Even when we were there, all of our communication was on Slack and all of our meetings were on Zoom. None of us had to ever be there for any good reason. And if we weren't there, they could have gotten rid of the office added more production lines. I'm glad I'm not there anymore. The only good part of that job was I got to work from home half the time.
Brutal. One of the worst parts for me is that the majority (I'm talking 90%+) of my work communication is with people in another state....so what do we gain by having me in the office 3 days a week? The only real benefit I see is that it will impress clients....but we only have clients visit a few times a year.
