The amount of loud and inconsiderate assholes in my co-working office today is unreal. Phone calls in open plan area instead of phone booths. A team of people I've never seen before sitting near me who think I want to hear their conversations and are not capable of using meeting rooms. When I arrived this morning, one of them was sitting at my desk using my monitor. I politely pointed out MY monitor and cables are not common property and asked them to move. Food crumbs left on my desk once they moved. I can barely concentrate even with headphones on.
I think it's time to move somewhere else. I'm starting to not enjoy coming here, which defeats the purpose of paying for a membership.
Edit - add several people watching a video on a laptop on loudspeaker.
report them to the management, they tend to look very dimly on behaviour that drives other customers away
I have complained in the past about another disruptive group (not there today) and basically the staff there did nothing because the leader of the group is “difficult” to deal with. They kept saying they’d talk to them but never did. I suspect because the group brings in more $$ in membership fees that they didn’t want to annoy them. Plus the other people in the area where I sit that were annoyed by the group all left, so I was the lone complainer.
My membership works at other locations so I might go check another out and see if it’s less crazy. I don’t have to stay there.
Ughhhh. Nothing worse than coworking space with absolutely pissweak managers
