New rule kicked in at work today....no headphones :@

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat :O
How do you survive your day :|

@KarolisCreation CEO walked around and place was too quite, thinks it's due to headphones, no difference!

@gitpush hardly, I can tell who's walking passed by their footsteps, not intentionally learnt this new skill :-(

@Laidbac add it to your CV never say no to additional skills :P

@Laidbac send him/her over here and let her experience a fucking open office jungle. The average Slayer concert is a more work friendly environment.

New linked in title. Attention recruiters, I am free...

quit.

@JohnDoesNot I once slept at a Slayer concert. Only woke up for the Raining Blood intro and then got back to sleep. On my defense, I was totally wasted.

you know what time it is ? QUIT THAT SHIT O'CLOCK

Well... sounds like an excuse to blare music real fucking loud there boss.

That’s your loophole, I suggest you use it.

@JohnDoesNot I could probably work at a slayer concert yeah.

Number 8.

You are having your Dev rights violated

No headphones???
Sounds like it's time to buy some kickass speakers.. 😎😎😎

Then just don't use headphones while listening to your music, then your CEO will surely stop complaining about a quiet office too

@daveq

Just read through the entire page.. Good read. ^~^

:!q

Fck whoever made this rule

Just quit

Leave.
Now.

Just listen to your music on the loudspeakers. Tell every one to do the same.
It will be chaos. It will be loud. It will be beautiful, produtivity will sink bellow 0, and that my feiend. That is how you get your headphones back.

Afternatively search for some "background noice"/" people talking" on youtube and just play it on speakers.

@Laidbac heard of these? https://aftershokz.com/

Play some Van Canto at max vol whenever the CEO walks by. 😧

"This is what I listen to when I'm trying to focus"

Almost a month later: each row now has their own bluetooth speaker, constant war of sound, ability to focus low, mistakes high....company wide meeting tomorrow, fingers crossed CEO will change her mind! 🤞

@Laidbac I love it when my plans work out perfectly.

@Wack last week we were pumping the kPop waiting for the complaints😅

@Laidbac
Keep us updated!
That must be pretty chaotic!

@Laidbac how are things?

@Laidbac Aaand?

@Laidbac No headphones? Then earphones!

I can wear headphones at work again!!!!!!!!!! #hallelujah

@Laidbac same work or new work?

@RTRMS same place. We got Bluetooth speakers per desk, and I speaker hogged! That n WFH/locations where the rules were more relaxed
