Has anyone been able to navigate the open office dilemma of giving feedback that people are disruptive, without being looked at as an asshole or stick in the mud?

Same. Bose is the way to go...But the 5 person meeting that’s regularly happening over my head is impossible to ignore any more. One of these guys literally leaned on the back of my chair during their meeting like I wasn’t even there.

Share with HR - it's their job to handle it since it was them and operations who got that office space.

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

Stuck between 2 offers, which would you choose? Eventually I want to work in ML/AI or blockchain/crypto

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet
