Can confirm. Was stuck in an "open office". It was hell on earth until they decided to build brand new offices for the sales team.. Because why the fuck not
we had a massive no wall cubical farm. To get rid of noise they hung active noise canceling speakers above our cubes. There were times you couldn't even hear yourself breathing. Was TOO quiet.
I like the way my office does it. All the engineers and drafters are on the ground floor. The sales guys work in a loft at the back of the building. We keep them in the attic like they would keep dementia patients in the attic back in the olden days.
