Dr Robert N. WinterRemember when meetings were held in rooms? Now, every desk is a conference pod. Every conversation is public. Every project update echoes across the office like a Gregorian chant of corporate chaos.If you've ever found yourself trapped in a meeting while overhearing three others… this one's for you.<a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/WorkplaceCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WorkplaceCulture</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/Meetings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meetings</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/HybridWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HybridWork</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/OpenPlanOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenPlanOffice</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/ZoomFatigue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZoomFatigue</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/CorporateLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateLife</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/OrganisationalHumour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrganisationalHumour</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Leadership</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/ManagementTrends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ManagementTrends</a> <a href="https://social.winter.ink/tags/Satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Satire</a> <a href="https://robert.winter.ink/why-is-everyone-in-my-meeting/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://robert.winter.ink/why-is-everyone-in-my-meeting/</a>

BernOh, look,, $workplace has installed some more new 'acoustically treated' individual booths, for when the cacophony in the normal battery hen floors - er, 'open plan workspaces' - gets too much. Only allowed to use them for an hour at a time, though...I mean, great that they're putting in some places of refuge for those who need them, but infuriating that they're needed in the first place because the office design is so hostile to anyone who's not an extrovert.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/OpenPlanOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenPlanOffice</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fail</a>
