I can admit that I could be a bad person here. Because listening to my coworkers coughing their heads off, or belching, and not to mention their other bodily functions, I can feel myself becoming increasingly homicidal. Which genius thought open floor plans and shared workspaces were a good idea? I'm not usually anti-social but I would give anything for some walls or even a cubicle to dim some of the noise.

They probably saved like $60 not putting up a cube. Who cares if the environment is awful, distracting, and disgusting? Someone who sits in a nice, corner office probably got a bonus for saving the company money by pushing that layout.

An average cubicle costs the company $5k per year in space, etc. If they do an open floor plan, they just squeeze more blood out of the turnips.

There is a admin in our office that coughs 24/7 and she refuses to go to the doctor. What can be done about it?

That’s so wrong she could be passing something on to other people.

One day I forgot I left my office door open and ripped a straight cheek-slapper of a fart. I followed it with a coughing fit so I assume no one noticed.

Oh no. The chewing and chip eating and mouth breathing send me. And chewing gum like a cow chews cud. I was raised in a barn and have better manners.

Sad thing is, if everyone worked remotely, they would save a bundle on leasing these overpriced buildings and floors. I’ve been in the corporate world for 45 years and they have all been sad places except when owned their own properties. Now they overpay their CEOs, CFOs, Etc and they do nothing except make too much money and enforce these stupid work in office rules. And I don’t deal with anyone in my group or team where I am. It’s supposed to be collaborative to be in office? With who ????
