I swear I've checked, but there is no sign outside my office that says "STAND HERE AND SHOUT YOUR IDLE CHIT CHAT AT EACH OTHER EVERY 35 MINUTES."

You should try working in an open plan office. It’s the reason I chose to work at home 4 days a week. My office is like working in a bus station. A constant babble of bullshit. It’s horrible.
open plans are the worst. i worked on place with half-height cubicle walls and it was terrible.
my current mgr won’t let us work from home. if he would, i’d happily do it. i love WFH.
It’s a question of trust. Most corporates simply assume every employee is going to sit at home in their underwear and watch Netflix all day. I’m lucky I guess. And I work longer hours at home so it’s a win for the company. If they told me it couldn’t continue and I had to show up every day I’d resign on the spot. This time of year it’s awesome not facing a 25 mile commute in the dark. Fuck that.
