In the new cramped environment with low visual privacy and especially no audio privacy, we all just end up with earpods in. We need the noise isolation to f'n THINK!
So the boss oozes his way over and 'hums' and 'haws' trying to get our attention before waving and doing that "hey pull out your earbuds so I can talk" gesture that resembles yokels trying to pick up someone in an elevator or on the bus and not.getting.it .
Because he doesn't.
So that is the life of people I left at the old job, and it's repeated a thousand times over.
Learn to also say on the phone "this environment has no audio privacy. Can you book meeting and a conference room? Thanks", if you get too many desk calls.
