[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of work do people do where you can concentrate with many, many people around you speaking all of the time?  A call center?  This can't be anything that involves any sort of mental concentration.[/quote]
I'm an in house attorney, but the policy applies to everyone including the CEO, CFO, GC, senior exec team, VPs, etc.  Everyone.  It's a multi-national company with &gt;100k employees.

There are &quot;team rooms&quot; you can use for meetings and private conversations, but you can't camp in those either.[/quote]

DH's company had that for years in-house, and it was incredibly inefficient compared to people having offices. Constantly rescheduling daily confidential calls because the conference rooms were in use, used too long, suddenly unavailable due to some other priority, and so on. Half the day was spent in endless and pointless logistics instead of work. It's all he complained about after work every day-- all the crap that couldn't get done because there were no offices. Utterly stupid. Many people were on the verge of quitting when COVID sent everyone home, and they never went back to buildings. So much better with remote work, but actual offices are still the better plan for most jobs. Now they get things done in a timely and efficient manner.[/quote]
