This really depends. It’s an old building and divided up really oddly. For instance, some offices seat two attorneys. The attorney in the back office has to walk through the front attorney’s office to get in and out of their own, the manager may sit somewhere else entirely. Then, like my group, we have a common space with our shared fridge, coffee maker, etc. which also seats our admin (who we no longer have) and there are 5 offices off the common space. I’ve seen other groups where there are regular cubicles and then one manager cubicle (so has a door and higher walls, but they don’t go to the ceiling, so dumb, it’s not like they can have a private conversation), others where everyone has one of the manager type cubicles and then the manager has a regular office, usually at one end of the suite…it’s truly a hodge podge of spaces.

I think that is pretty typical for working in the office. We have some folks complaining about the cockroaches at my office and it's like folks this is just part and parcel of working in fhe office. I tell people to think of them as additional sources of collaboration.

Ive worked in an office in DC for multiple decades and have never encountered cockroaches. Private sector but... its definitely not normal!

OP here. Our current building does not have issues with bugs or mice 😞. It's like return to the office just got so much worse. We can choose to work in New Carolton instead but those of us in VA the commute is ridiculous.

We will apparently be sitting on floors 1 and 6. If I can I choose 6 to avoid mice?

Mice can climb.

They already are. We negotiate every 3 years.

I’ve never seen a mouse since I left the first floor and bugs are not as prevalent. I’d choose 6 if I were given an option.

But that was before NTEU was ended.

The new Carrollton office has mice. Downtown has large rats
