In the age of open space layouts where desks are crammed together, coworkers who take calls at their desks and talk loudly are super annoying and distracting to everyone. How do you guys deal with such loud talkers?
Headphones
Our spaces have a little break out rooms you can grab ad hoc with telephones in them for such situations.
We have those but half the time we have consultants or visitors use them as their personal office for the day :(
I work at Microsoft and have my own office.
The 70s called. They want their offices back.
Some things don’t get better with time. I don’t know how people get any work done without their own office.
Pass some chewing gum every hour. With your TC you can feed your entire floor.

The end of Backdoor Roth?!
Try politely asking if they can take their calls somewhere else. You'd be surprised by how many people are understanding and would be completely open to doing that.
We have a arrogant old coworker (he is principal) basically he do whatever he desires These people are arrogant enough to do anything they want unless someone tell them this is annoying and then they might or may not stop doing that.. sigh
I know a few colleagues go talk to these loud guys (mostly leads). Most of them have been branded as arrogant/sensitive for not being understanding enough 😂
