Comment on Ask HN: What are some Bay Area startups that don't use an open office plan?parent

Comments

* On top of the direct impact of interruptions and distractions, you'll want to be aware of the way you are seen to react to them.

Pay attention to who the rest of the office does or doesn't attend to when that person decides to convene a huddle or start soapboxing - regardless of the topic

Dutifully working away under your headphones when a ranking person is looking for attention is a great way to end up labeled in a bad way.

* Don't mistake an open floor plan for an open structure. Be careful about who you accept work from / collaborate with / delegate to until you understand the landscape.
