Impossible to do phone calls / video calls without noise canceling headphones and good noise filtering. Ans when you’re at home trying to talk to someone on-site, you can hear three other colleagues chatting in the background. Hate this shit with a passion

Where I’m at now we have those phone booth-style boxes for (video-)calls. They are pretty horrible but a big improvement over having people making calls in the shared space.
