Why no headphones? Is management a bunch of Nazis?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I've once visited an office that was like this. Was a publisher with a big IT department. Large office room, perhaps 40-50 desks. No headphones allowed. I don't remember the reason. I would go crazy, it was not a quiet office.

I have no idea tbh, on the headphones side; they’re not Nazis (I don’t think).

What if you just....wore headphones? Will security escort you put with a baton?

No but I’m sure the bosses would ask me not to do that.

You won't be able to hear them! Problem solved.

By spreading such usage of the word Nazis you're numbing down the average person's response to someone being called a Nazi, as it becomes a normal thing.

Save the term for people who deserve it
