Office etiquette

3 pointsby xt_cubeover 7 years ago
I work as a software engineer at company X, we all have cubes with low walls and managers occupy the offices with doors on the perimeter of the building.<p>I find it annoying, disruptive and upsetting that people gather in offices to have loud discussions and fail to close the door.<p>Some managers are from foreign countries and have these discussions in their native language when meeting with employees of shared heritage, this I find borderline offensive.<p>I&#x27;m certain that I suffer from Misophonia; is this my problem? or am I cursed with a disproportional number of inconsiderate colleagues?

It&#x27;s reasonable to ask people to be quieter and&#x2F;or close the door.<p>If you complain about people speaking non-English in your office you&#x27;re going to be fired for racism.
