Music at Work
-
How many of you are allowed to listen to music at work? I share an office with 2 other people, so I like to wear headphones while I work. I find the music acts as a sort of catalyst that really helps me focus and be productive. Without the music, I tend to get distracted by anything and everything and I find it really difficult to stay focused. However, I've been told to stop wearing headphones as I don't look "welcoming" to people entering the office with questions. To clarify, my position is actually something of an "application support" person, with programming to fill in the gaps. Lately however, more than 90% of my time has been devoted to programming. So while I can expect to be interrupted at any time, it very rarely happens. Since people can wander in at any time with a problem, I can apparently look "too busy" and people don't feel as though they can disturb me. Since my desk doesn't face the door, I can't always hear when people come in. I offered to purchase a mirror for my monitor (like the one my boss has) so that I could see the door and remove the headphones whenever someone entered. But of course, that isn't the point, is it... Apparently though, it's ok to use speakers to listen to my music - even though this will no doubt irritate my fellow office workers. In fact, I refuse to even entertain the idea of speakers while I share an office with others. Interestingly, the Big Boss (above the person telling me I can't use headphones) is completely on my side, and agrees that programmers should be able to listen to music. However, stepping over my boss' authority to get my way is a political minefield that I feel is best avoided. On the other hand however, I can be so much more productive with music... Any thoughts?

I think that listening to music boosts my productivity. It filters out extraneous outside noise from co-workers, sometimes covers the sound of them eating (yuck), and motivates me. The only time I take them off is if I have a really difficult iteration deployment that I'm debugging -- or when someone comes with a question or problem. You could talk to your bosses boss to see if he can drop a hint about the subject without bringing your name into the mix. But if you boss pushes you to use speakers, then listening to Tool at full volume could help change his mind.

you can always hang a sign near the entrance to your office that says, "Please Disturb" :) I have listened to music at work others do even with speakers. We've had the issue with headphones, but people eventually learned to tap me on the shoulder or knock loud enough. They know when the pressure is on and a high-priority task is on that I will hang a sign on the door that says "high priority task in progress, please don't disturb"

I can not work at all with out my music. Mainly for two reasons. Like you said it helps keep me focused and acts as a catalyst. I just get so much more done. The second reason is that I do not have a cube and I work on a trading floor so everything is wide open. My office is very noisy and loud so it makes it very hard to concentrate. If anyone needs me they always just tap me on the shoulder, I never have an issue with someone saying I look to busy to be bothered. I don't think I would be nearly as good a worker with out them.

I listen to music with headphones and my back to the door. I can focus much better with no visual or auditory distractions (I listen to the same music all the time). I sat across from the printer, the unofficial conference area, and so I needed something. One of my bosses said "Everybody" was afraid to interrupt me while I had the headphones on. (He got pissed when I pointed out the many people interrupted me and he must be "Nobody" since he had just interrupted me) I also pointed out casual talkers did avoid dropping by but people who needed me would talk to me. I also pointed out about the printer and noise, but since it didn't bother him, he didn't care. I put up a sign saying "if you need me, please disturb me." He took it down for me and said I was unprofessional. HR and the bosses above him had no problem with me and the headphone so I continued.

Since this is a political issue.. talk to your stablemates and tell them that with the goal in mind of being told to use headphones you are going to use speakers and expect them to complain loudly about your taste in music. That no matter how softly you're playing your ABBA it jars their sensibilities to the point that they simply wish you could put your headphones back on. As far as being told not to listen to any music at all.. start talking to everyone a bit too much and wandering around... the change in behavior can be attributed to your not having your headphones by your cubemates who are in the know. You could also consider singing along or whistling along with your speakers on. good luck. dave

Any chance of rotating your desk so that you face the door? I wear headphones most of the day at work, and I do agree that it makes me appear to be a bit isolationist. This is why I never close my office door and I'm quick to remove headphones as soon as someone steps into my doorway.

But at the same time, insist that the headphones give you the same productivity boost a private office would give. There's enough "official" information that clearly shows

No, but there is a spare desk closer to the door... perhaps I could move over there, where I can see people as they come in. Good Idea!

I will say that I recently left the project after my boss gave me a poor review. We didn't get along in many area's but nothing big. I wore bluejeans to work and he said the dress code said that was forbidden. I pointed out that if he would read it, the dress code said they were "Guidelines" and not rules. (I asked his boss and HR on that too) When I left the project, he didn't want me to go becasue he knew I was his top performer. But his boss said since he rated me as a poor performer, then he shouldn't need me. Since then, the project has almost been canceled twice and is WAY behind on the schedule. I don't feel sorry for him.

Ok, don't rub it in! ;P Actually, this is the first programming-type job I've ever had that has such a restriction. It's not as though I'm asking to wear shorts and a tank-top to work, or set up a dedicated game server for lunchtime deathmatches, or even go down the pub every Friday for 2 or 3 beers. And these are all things I've been able to do at other companies. :sigh:

Maybe you should ask for that. Then your request to wear headphones will pale in comparison and surely be approved.

Curiously, No. In fact my supervisor and I listen to the same sort of music and have been to see Frontline Assembly and Front 242 together. The other office worker says she doesn't care about the music, but I know she does... Also, my supervisor used to listen to music on his speakers, and even though I like the music, I found it very distracting. Sort of like listening to someone elses iPod on the train... So, in order to block out his music, I would use my headphones. Next thing you know, someone walks into the boss's office asking if its ok to disturb me, as I had my headphones on. :doh: So, no more headphones. At which point I said I use the headphones to block out my supervisors music, so he loses that too! This was about 3 months ago, and I've realized in that time that my productivity has plummeted, so I thought I would bring the idea back to the table, but it seems to be no deal. The whole thing is just a political dance and power trip, if you ask me.

For a good example of this warning, look at a particularly tightly wound coworker or friend: The stress in their life is mostly self-inflicted, and the extra efforts they put out are rarely rewarded.
