What is your position? How many people do you share your office with and how does this affect you? Increasingly, companies are opting for the so-called “Open space model” or introduced as “the open space office.” However, this model has its flaws, and some of them are for example the constant noise, inability to focus on your work, increased stress levels, the lack of privacy and the feeling of constant control over you.
The old fashioned, private and closed offices are these days something many employees are dreaming of. If you are a young person in an office full of senior colleagues (older employees), it is very likely that you will be hearing sentences such as: “Today’s generations don’t know anything! They just want everything instantaneously” or they may simply pamper you and want to protect you by not “let you do anything” because “you are so young and inexperienced.” Some of the emerging problems in the office are certainly stemming from the generational differences amongst colleagues.
