I think we should strive to avoid 0.1x environments. I work in a cube farm and there are plenty of days when my neighbors are so loud that my productivity goes to 0.1x or less. When I work at home on Fridays I often get more than than during the 4 preceding workdays.<p>Add to this constant meaningless meetings where everybody is late and unprepared.<p>I often hear &quot;I will work tonight or on the weekend so I get things done&quot;. I don&#x27;t understand why everybody seems to accept that the workplace environment is bad and nothing can be done. I have raised this to senior management quite a few times but they just shrug their shoulders.
