A shocking number of people at my office would benefit from seeing this PSA. So could everyone on seemingly every one of my flights. Who knew common courtesy was such a rare commodity..

If you’re in an office with all glass doors, you also need to use headphones working in an office. Had someone in from another office last week and I could hear his whole call.

Right this minute someone is taking a call on speaker from an office … WITH THE DOOR OPEN 😫

My favorite is when they talk from the office to someone in one of the furthest cubicles. Message each other on teams!

I am so glad you said this because this is one of my biggest pet peeves. My coworkers have a really bad habit of playing training videos as loud a they can at their desk with no headphones and its maddening.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.
