Better this than an open plan office.

I loved when I worked in an open-plan office! Of course though the people around me hated it as I was a bit of a distraction.

After I moved to 100% HO I now realize that some CEOs main task is to make peoples lifes more and more miserable.

Yeah I was going to say the same. This is actually decent. My old office before they renovated to open plan looked a lot like this. I think I had that chair! And that ceiling! Hey, wait a minute! This IS my old office!!

Well turn one of those monitors to portrait and that could actually be a functional workspace.

Portrait? Are you coding something?

When I was doing tech support that’s exactly what I did!

I came to say this. And that's one reason why I left my last post.

But it was more a symptom than an actual problem. The new boss really had no idea what he was doing, and it just became clear when he instituted a return to office to a new cramped bright hot loud environment after we'd all done really well working remote for about 2 years at that point.

The Dead Sea effect was felt long before it was my turn.
