Well it gives you the opportunity to sit somewhere quiet and read a good book on English so your next thread title is better.

I've never understood how anyone can "work" and listen to headphones at the same time.
If I was running a company I'd ban them, or sack anyone seen using them while pretending to work!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

They moved 'my desk' its now in the group of hot desks amongst telesales its like Jericho with the trumpets there. Headphones are a must if you want to concentrate.
Admittedly last time I was actually in the office was 3 months ago.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I had one client where I was in a large open plan office with sales people making loud phone calls. Some people couldn't cope at all and had to wear headphones all day, but it never bothered me. I prefer some noise to the deathly silence you get in some workplaces.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I find if you hire professional then you should leave them to decide how they want to work. If you are hiring tulip people and your idea of managing them is to tell em not to wear headphones then you are doing a crap job.Comment
