I work in municipal government, and 5 of us used to share a tiny open space and I was in online meetings all day. It was bad enough I’d sometimes take my laptop into the courtroom/council chambers so I could spend some time talking without everyone else having to hear me.
We got a new City Hall building a few months back, and I have my own super-nice office with walls and everything on a different floor than the people I used to share space with. It’s glorious.
Many offices have terrible acoustics anyway so even non-autistic people wear noise canceling headphones at the office all day.
I first read that as “non-acoustic people”
My brain did the same. n_n
As an electric person I love headphones.
As an eclectic person, I also love headphones.
But then you’re not constantly engaging with the others in your bullpen!
