How To Survive an Open Office Floor Plan
Category: Business
Duration: 00:36:30
Publish Date: 2018-10-29 02:05:00
Description:

Do you work in an open office that’s usually very quiet, where people are more focused on their computers than the coworkers right next to them? If so, a recent study found that that’s the norm. Ethan Bernstein, co-author of that study and Associate Professor in the Organizational Behavior unit at the Harvard Business School, joins us to talk about why open offices actually stifle in-person communication, while encouraging more digital communication between coworkers.

Then, Liz and Rico help listeners Jenine, who wants to find a new job but is worried about ageism in her industry, and Jeffrey, whose company is preventing people from actually building careers. And we learn what The Good Doctor has to say about annual reviews.

Don’t forget! We’re working on a bunch of special episodes (Liz & Rico AMAs, your ultimate office, and a very NOT Safe For Work episode), so if you have a question, don't hesitate to send us an email. You can reach us at Safe@Wondery.com, or you can leave us a voicemail at 424-224-5711. You can also find us on Twitter — we’re @SafeFor Work — and don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano.
