Open plan offices fucken suck.

Noise, constant distractions, and that one arsehole who never covers their mouth when they sneeze, sending a wave of infectious germs rolling out across the office floor.

God I remember how the flu used to just rip through the office come wintertime... Since switching to remote work, I think I've taken 1 sick day this year.

I'm in an open floor plan with cubicles. There is one asshole who has an office, he insists on having loud conversations, with his door open, on mother fucking speakerphone through his tinny laptop speakers. I've resorted to a white noise playlist on Spotify. He's a client, so not cool telling him to fuck off.
