Cubicles: The Art of Working With Distractions

By Melissa Nykorchuk

Working in an office today is nothing like it used to be. Forget four walls and a door that you can close. Having an office in today’s thrifty business world can mean nothing more than three short cubicle walls with no privacy and the ability to hear everything within a twenty foot radius. Learning how to get along, even with the woman who has decorated her cubicle in pink flamingos, becomes necessary in order to keep the peace and ensure that you can get your work done.

So, what happens if you are sitting next to a person who continually uses the speaker phone on high? Before you jump over the cubicle wall out of frustration, take into consideration that this pest may not know that his phone is so high. Try telling him that you are distracted by his loud use of the speaker phone and could he please keep it down. If he ignores your request, consider this as a sign you have a pest on your hands and look for an open cubicle farther away.

The speaker phone is distracting, but what about the thirty or so personal phone calls he receives on his cell phone? Even when you try to ignore his cell phone that loudly screeches the chorus of “Ain’t too proud to beg” every time it goes off, you can’t get any work done. Does he even know he is such a pest?
