My old office was 90s as hell with big beige cubicles and ceiling tiles. My desk was outside of my boss’s office. It was 35 minutes away and I went in almost every day even though WFH was an option

Then we moved to a fancy new open office with half height glass walls. It’s 10 minutes away and they’re lucky if they see me twice a week now.

I don’t want to hear every conversation in the office. I work better, faster, and with fewer breaks when it’s quiet. I have to use push-to-talk in meetings.
