How can you concentrate now in a pen of eight? Do you all agree to have occasional quiet times for thinking, wear earmuffs, or what?
Currently I'm a much more relaxed (in terms of HR rules and even IT rules) tech company but the work atmosphere is full zone in. Very little chatter, soft downtempo music plodding along all day long and people doing actual work all the time and ever so rarely some "clear our heads" banter.
