What would be the one, reasonable, change that could be made to your place of work to make it better? Particularly looking forward to Griff's response to this? I've asked the question, but don't have a ready answer for myself.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I could go back to Windows 7? It's tempting... :laugh: And I could get someone to replace the "leather" back to my chair with real leather, rather than having it on my "To Do" list for me to do (I did the seat pad a year ago, but the back is now cracking up)

Close it.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -

Walls was what I was thinking too. Although not because of Soccer. Currently trying not to listen to a conversation two pods of desks over about potatoes.

Walls are good. Doors help as well. I have both: four walls, a window, and a door which is only closed to keep noise down (either mine while Herself is sleeping, or when I'm trying to concentrate and she is swearing at the TV...) Cubes don't work for me: too much noise, too many people walking past, too easy to interrupt the thought processes.

We do have a big, open stairway but most of the staff scuttle up and down the fire escape in the centre of the building for some reason. It retains farts for days. This is a stairway[^] (third picture).

I have three colleagues that talk CONSTANTLY, and loud. They are administratives - they have brief bursts of work then nothing for days - and they totally break concentration, especially on hard algorythmic problems. When they have nothing to say they go on for days repeating every few seconds a selection sentences of the last B-movie or Internet phenomenon they watched. Plus one of them has the abhorrent habit of repeating hte last word he heard, so if someone is answering the pohne he usually repeat the last word of each sentence. Plus the technocal assistance, which is made mostly on the phone, is in the same and only open space with the developers and administrative employees... Total chaos. I bought boxes of earplugs... and if the boss sees me using earplugs I risk disciplinary troubles. X|

Bonuses for the non-production staff. My suggestion is take 1% (or whatever) from the bonuses they give the production staff and give it to the people who allow production to make money. We are treated as an after thought. Production will get subs for lunch, we get: "Oh, production is done with the lunch, you can come and get what you want if anything is left."

Wow! If I remember correctly this is the same workspace where the employees are allowed to access no more than approximately 7 specific websites. Am I wrong? But watching the telly is fine as the capo is into sports??
Life is too shor
You remember perfectly. No, the capo is absent almost 4 days a week :D and he has his own office... carved at the extremes of the room there are offices with glass walls. No noise passes through and he can watch each and every one of us simply turning up his head. Usually when he's "in office" he sleeps or spends 3-4 hours at the nearby cafè then takes leave.

They don't watch the TV in office but talk about the match of the previous evening. 8 hours straight. Violent thoughts arise...

Pay me according to my work instead of according to how crappy your marketing strategies work out.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.
