What does everyone think about having music on in the office? Personally, I love that we have a different Spotify playlist every day but I know that not everyone enjoys this whilst trying to work, so just wanted to get other people’s thoughts on this?

I've never worked in an office with music playing and having it would be a problem for me. I'm just not wired to be able to simultaneously concentrate and listen to music. I know some people are, and I'll see people wearing earbuds in the office. But the last time I worked in a place with music playing was at a summer job where concentration wasn't a big issue.

Personally I find it so boring working without music! Having background noise keeps me focused and locked in, I feel the days drag so much when we don’t have anything on. But I am quite lucky that everyone in my office feels the same way, so we typically have it on

I can't find the words for how much I would hate dad lol. I am so glad I work remote. Thankfully, even when I was in the office, I never worked somewhere that played music. I would sometimes have my earbuds in and listen to my own music, but I wouldn't want anyone choosing the music for me. Way too distracting.

Oh wow that’s so interesting! I personally can’t work without music, I get wayyy too bored

I'm not a fan and am glad this doesn't happen at my work. I have my headphones in most of the day, so it wouldn't be a big deal if we did, but I'd still prefer not to have to listen to music nonstop whenever I do take them out.

Each to their own!

I can't concetrate on my work when there is music on. Sometimes I will put my headphones in and listen to something but when I have to concentrate i need silence. We all bring out own headphones

Wow that’s so interesting!! I’m the total opposite, I lose focus when it’s silent, I need to have background noise to keep me going haha

I like having music on. It makes the office feel lively! Totally get that it’s not everyone’s vibe though, maybe keeping it at a low volume or having headphones as an option works best, I suppose.
