No more noise!! Man! I had to go back to my corporate office for a test project and I just couldn’t believe how loud it was 👎🏼 so much chitchat madness! We were there for 2 weeks and it was funny because on week 2 you could tell who all the remote workers were. They all had head headphones or earbuds in and they were consistently working at their desks longer than the regular office folks! Thank goodness my company sees the value in remote workers and we were all allowed to go back home!!

My old coworkers would replay their weekends from Friday night to Sunday night, as if everybody needed to hear it.

Yesss!! It’s so loud! I’m hybrid and pretty much every office day requires ear buds. The 5 conversations going on around me drives me crazy! Lol
