PierreTheMime posted:mid 6? im coming from a relatively cheap housing area so the costs are way up but its slightly less than double my current take a long & hard look at the apartment you'll be able to afford on your inflated salary and a long & hard look at your commute and ask yourself if it'll be worth it. imo the only way that poo poo would be worth it to me is if they were slapping heavy rear end golden cuffs on me. if it's a contract position they better be paying you some big-rear end figgies

i found a nice cottage flat, with main door access, for really cheap the area isnt great but its right next to the expressway, with about 6 different busses going along it into town. less than 10 minute by bus/car to city centre (the office too) cheap enough that i could buy it now and pay the mortgage off in 5 years before i turn 30 only downside is there is someone living above e; the idea being just get it paid off and then move it. either then sell this place and use as deposit for another place, or just keep the place and rent it out Valeyard fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Mar 4, 2017 |

i work in an open office and an emergent policy is that if you've got something to discuss that goes beyond a few sentences, go to a meeting room. see also: phonecalls

i went from my own office with a door and a view of a courtyard to an open plan with coworkers in close proximity and i like my new one much better. i feel like i'm more engaged and friendly with my coworkers and idk it's more relaxed. not sure i can describe it entirely but i like it

you can keep your door open and be friendly when you want to and you can close it and concentrate when you need to. you're not forcibly interrupted by some idiots discussing a YouTube video. open offices are terrible for productivity.coffeetable posted:i work in an open office and an emergent policy is that if you've got something to discuss that goes beyond a few sentences, go to a meeting room. lmao. just admit failure.

all these companies I'm talking with are all open office, and they pretend it's a selling point. if a recruiter mentions it I brush it off, but if a manager says it i grill them until they admit that basically everyone has to wear headphones to drown out the noise and get anything done. I'm going to miss my office when I move.

i miss having an office but that's really just not A Thing anymore. 2/3rds or more of american office space has been converted to open-layout. the only people left giving developers private offices are really, really weird i don't want to work for fog creek for half the going salary in new york. i don't want to live in a frozen shithole and work for epic systems corporation in their faux barn campus.

the only job i've had with an office was when i did GIS work at my family's old map store. and then it was just one of the bedrooms upstairs in the house we used for a store. lol. my last job didn't even have cubes, it was just desks in a big ol' room, arranged all panopticon style.

the only thing more soul-sapping and dehumanizing than working in a cubicle or closed room would be working in an open plan office either isolation and disconnection or constant chatter and paranoia

H.P. Hovercraft posted:i was discussing this w/ the ceo the other day when he was considering either absorbing more of the floor we're on or switching buildings it's very obviously just a money saving move (less square footage per person), and the contortions that employers go through to justify it as anything else are insulting. the productivity hit they take moving to an open space more than eliminates the savings they get from the real estate, but it's not something you can quantify to accountants.

not enough places realise that gearing up for remote working (technically and in terms of attitudes to sharing information) also makes leasing office space a lot easier, since you don't need to move everybody when you grow, you can have a few different locations in the same city and put different teams there. but nope, gotta have open plan so someone can overhear a mistake being made and intervene because somehow that's a long-term option.
