Big corp...Am i ready for it. PART 3

Open space working environment?
Are you ready for it?
Sharing with others department, are you ready for it?

At first, i was a bit shock because my dept have to share with IT and accounts dept.
For me if share with IT i can accept it but accounts..hmmm We are totally open..not only to the same floor people but also to others floor. In other word we are open to public.

The reason is because
1) IT dept is here then my dept Central Admin.
2) Bulk photocopy is at central admin
3) office boy is at admin..
4) coordinate of incoming & outgoing letter either by hand letter, normal post or courier is all at admin
5) etc...

Imagine it...

Every time my dept is crowded and like morning market.
Imagine what you do everyone is watching.
Imagine you can listen to all kinds of noise (people talking + photocopy machine sound) Can you imagine it???
After sometimes you will adapt to it But don't expect you will sit in quiet working area. this is what they expected.
When your voice a bit louder..hmmm How to have quiet working area when your working area is open?

One thing for sure is still not really open working environment... Still old fashion way they practice..

What i learn in this kind of situation is that you must help each other, don't be too calculative.
You must firm on decision and fierce else people take advantage on it.
