Loud coworkers and managers’ chatter make work impossible
Employees in a shared workspace say nonstop, non-work chatter from one department — often joined by their managers — has made it nearly impossible to concentrate.
DEAR ABBY: At the company where I work, multiple departments share a workspace. While most of my colleagues are quiet and considerate, certain members of one department are very loud. They talk nonstop (nothing work-related) and have no consideration for others who are trying to work and concentrate. It has reached the point that it is next to impossible to accomplish any work on a daily basis.
These individuals’ managers not only refuse to correct these behaviors, but often join in themselves.
