Hi,
I’ve been activated almost 2 months and a week ago my employer moved to a new location with really really bad and open acoustics. Do you think that researcher at Mayo Clinic or anywhere else might have answers? So far I have a suggestion of getting permission to place a large piece of batting above to absorb the sounds.

Yep, exactly… but it shouldn’t be hard to know whether people are being productive or not… and if they’re not, why are you paying them?

I think most companies don’t trust their own employees enough to act this way. I believe it ends up being a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Yes, a cubicle can be crazy-making! The old building was terrible.
