An open-plan office leads to more potential to mess with your belongings and your work. Add to mix a coworker who is gaslighting you and sabotaging your career. Everyone has their individual level of 'people exposure' - how long you can be around people before you need time alone. People who work in an open-plan office had a deterioration in their perceived health and performance, and more absences due to illness ( Richardson, et al., 2017).Īlso, people eventually get tired of being around other people. Many people find that quiet or absolute silence is essential to their productivity. Also, constant noise can make you tired and feel a sense of sensory overload, making you less productive. A 2018 Harvard Business School study found that open-plan offices (office space without walls and doors) actually lead to a 70% decrease in face-to-face communication ( Bernstein & Turban, 2018). And that he did'nt want to take it further.What was once hailed as a step towards better communication (and lower costs) has turned into a failure in many companies. Gervais said that 2 series of the office in the uk was enough. If your ever down just bung on a couple episodes from good old dunder miflin in scranton and you cant go wrong. This show is funny, its acted brilliantly, its over the top, totally crazy but totally entertaining. I never get into TV like i have done with this, i ended up watching 10 episodes in a day, i think i did all 5 series in just under 2 weeks. I had to get hold of it and see it, And to my joy there was 5 series waiting for me. Then one day i was checking out the reviews for evan almighty on IMDb and noticed that steve carel had still been making this show.

I thought it had 1 series and crashed and burned. I was disappointed when it disappeared from our screens, and then quickly forgot about it. When the first series aired in the uk it did'nt really make its mark, and unfortunately never caught on. From watching the original uk series back in 2001 on bbc TV, i never thought an American remake would stand any ground whatsoever. This show really is outstanding, in fact its the only show i think i can rate as a 10.
