Noisy Work Environments?

Cell phone noise problems? Easy fix! Just join in the conversation, ask to have them repeat what they said, or chime in with advice. They might not stop their jabber, but in they will (at least) avoid your vicinity.

Great Idea. We get too many people who don't set their phones to vibrate. They just let it ring and they usually go of when they are in a meeting. And, the owner doesn't have any respect for the work space. These people need to be reprimanded. But, your idea about asking to join the conversation is a new tactic.

Who said anything about asking? Just join in - abruptly - and with an air that it's all perfectly natural.

we have to separate parts in our office. One for the QA and support team and the other for developers. The people from the QA call our rooms the 'monastery'... I never see normal development places that where noisy. It seems to me too much...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).
I used to work in a noisy work environment: nobody talks - they just chat all day on IRC!!! I don't understand how people can face each other and not talk normally. Why do they have to go through IRC?
