My office (NYC) has installed new panopticon film on office doors. There is helpful “anti-distraction” tint on the inside, and see-through tint on the outside to “foster a collaborative environment.” Is this happening elsewhere? Everyone in my group is busy, and firm laptops already have plenty of spy bloatware. Is the extra surveillance really necessary?

Yikes. That would make me want keep my door open at all times.
I’d love it if you’d dm me the firm name, that way I can mention it to any of my candidates interviewing there.

This is absolutely insane

Which firm? That’s awful. I’d peel it off myself of let them know I’m going to put in notice over this issue. Also, collaboration goes both ways - I like to see who is walking by so I can nod and say hello through the glass so people know it’s fine to drop in.

Ngl this would make me focus more bc it’s distracting af to see people walking by. But what they should really do is tell the guys to stop peering in. Without fail it’s always the guys walking past who are craning their necks 90 degrees to peep in, like (their or my) peripheral vision doesn’t exist. Men keep your eyes to yourselves.

4PQE. UK. Have been offered a job at another firm but they've only agreed to match my salary. I went back asking for more and have been sternly told that's not possible as I'm already being offered more than what their bandings allow.

The new firm seems like it would be better for the sector I'm specialising in but anyone else I hear that moves tends to get a considerable payrise! I feel reluctant to move if I'm not getting a big pay jump... Is moving for the same pay a done thing?
