Do they forbid music at your office? They do at mine. It's always like a weird atmosphere until the loud people come in. lol. Not a sound, not a peep. If you didn't look around, it's as if people weren't there.

Seriously. It's a bad idea to have music?! I understand that from a concentration perspective, but come on. Let's make business even more boring. lol.

On the other hand, I did work at a place where they had radio playing but they never changed station. It felt like Groundhog day. lmao.

@retoor Concentrated working is good.

It's fun to think about how your chatapp will be as good or better than the current ones and perhaps fix flaws others have.

I just don't like it when I'm at the office and if I'm not using headphones, it's eerily quiet, like people aren't people.

We work remotely, but I worked in an office before where they had a TV right above my head playing music all day long and I had trouble focusing. It wasn't bad music, but it's still bothersome.

Taste in music varies widely. You don‘t want to be annoyed by some shitty music that someone else likes.

Silence is the best, but if there is any noise, music wins

@jestdotty Wtf lmao jestdotty. Clever.

I don't those wireless earphones, at least not the buds.

They don't mind me listening to music either, as long as it doesn't play out in the open. lol.

But it's fucking funny when management devices to have a lol and play their music out loud. Suddenly then it's ok.

Face. Palm. Oil. jk

Yes, when you show yourself as human, people can relate to you. I project myself as business as fuck, so people are scared of me, sadly.

Socialize, hm, it depends. Some projects are so fucking busy that I don't find a moment's time to take a break because the fucking PM it always needy. You can see my fucking frustration in my swearing. lol. Thankfully it's not always like that and I take breaks.

@Lensflare There must be some way to resolve it without having everyone muted. lol

@CaptainRant

Well from what I gather, it means music playing out loud outta speakers is banned, which, like @Lensflare said, should be a must.

In your headphones? I'm gonna play whatever the fuck I want, management be damned.

I hate close quarters bs

@retoor Finally a useful application of A.I. jk jk. Yeah, it has nice features. And bot approval, which is great.

Once worked in a place that blasted us with music from the time the dude with the radio showed up till he left home a bit early (was old)
People that stayed after he left home were split into 2 categories: 1. turn that music up or 2. can we please turn that down?
I'll let you figure out which category of people was doing more work.
Totally, never changed station. I knew all the songs in the first 2 weeks, and of course world news.
