How do you tell your boss that she has too many non-work long conversations that get too loud with boisterous laughter and distracts those of us outside of her office trying to work?

I thought of texting her and saying:
“Can you please close your door whenever K*** and K***** are in your office chatting?”

That's as nice as I’ve gotten so far.
It started as:
“Hey, loudmouths, some of us actually have work to do, and you're annoying us!!!”

Don’t make it a huge deal and don’t be a jerk about it, just pop in next time she’s chit chatting and say “hey mind if I close your door? I’m in the zone and trying to focus!”

Maybe just ask to move to a quieter area due to nature of technical writing requiring intense focus and no distraction.

That is sad, it can be horrible for people with sound sensitivity. This person is really disrespectful. I imagine remote is not possible either. The only thing to do is headphones, big comfy obvious ones.

Can the hybrid model actually work?

People have gotten so used to just backing meetings up into each other. You logout of one and immediately jump in to another. I remember days full of meetings before but not at this volume.

I struggle believing this practice will cease with any percentage of the workforce at home. I don't subscribe to all or nothing but I'm interested in if this has been addressed. Has anyone's hybrid policy mentioned the future of meeting best practice?

Hi everyone! I’m an EA for a Property Management company, I wanted to get your opinion on a situation. We have an office manager, who is in charge of greeting clients and anybody who walks through the doors, returning of keys, etc., our office manager wants to work a hybrid schedule and we are not opposed to it as long as we can ensure client satisfaction and that the office is orderly. Has anybody been able to make this work?
