Been seeing a few posts about open office floor plans. Genuine question for those outside of law: Do you all really not have your own offices? How do you get anything done with all the distractions?

Hahahaha! Love this! I think legal is the only industry that still have offices!

I have a ton of friends in legal and I listen to their set ups and it sounds so different! I heard that the WFH took ages... consultants are agile and can work anywhere. It’s not distracting, but we aren’t reviewing 100 page documents....

Employers: Millennials love those open concept offices, like Facebook
Millennials: No, we want to be paid like Facebook employees, have lunch on site, etc.
Employers: no more offices or cubes, look, now we’re like Facebook

OP it’s called adapting. And we humans are supposedly very good at it. I don’t think i can go back to the old ‘cubes’ anymore...
To your question on how we get anything done... like Champions that we are 🤘🏻

My ideal working environment is a cafe, and I tend to move throughout the day to various seating arrangements as befits my mood/task. All my files are on the cloud so I have no physical documents I need to lug around.

I’m jealous of my lawyer friend who has an entire office of her own. But no, we don’t even have our own desks/cubes lol makes it easy to quit

yes. in many advertising offices, we have 'hot desking'... where you don't even have your own seat, all your personal items are stored in a locker at the end of the day. each desk has a monitor and keyboard and dock, that's it.
really not great for concentration (you spend 30 min just setting up) or for health (germ spreading)

No, Assurance. But I bring my keyboard and mouse so I can try to set up an actual workspace and then files as needed, sometimes binders with client docs, a notebook, etc. Also walk into work because parking is astronomical and I live less than a mile from the office. Hence the bookbag.

Yes. It’s the norm. Wasn’t really that bad. Kinda fun until...

I told him I don’t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he can’t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.
