Do you prefer an open-plan office or an ordinary office? I work in an IC design company. Here all departments work in an open-plan office. When I first came here, I was told that we would function as a big team in this office. However, soon I found it really noisy. When I tried to read program code, I was distracted by Fincial Department because they were arguing about some reimbursement issue. Today I even heard HR clerks chatting about shoes at work time. I confess I am not fully concwntrative either, but I yhink I did not make much noise to disturb others. Well, there is bright size. I can get access to colleagues easily and it is a welcoming and equal environment. Which do you prefer? I might miss the regular smaller kind. PS: it's my work time now. Haha.

Do you prefer an open-plan office or an ordinary office?

I work in an IC design company. Here all the departments work in an open-plan office.

When I first came here, I was told that we would function as a big team in this office. However, soon I found it to be really noisy. When I tried to read programming code, I was distracted by the Financial Department because they were arguing about some reimbursement issue. Today I even heard HR clerks chatting about shoes at work time.

I confess I am not fully concentrating either, but I think I did not make as much noise that would disturb others. Well, there is bright side. I can get access to colleagues easily and it is a welcoming and equal environment.

Which do you prefer? I might miss the regular smaller kind.
PS: it's my work time now. Haha.
