This can be really tough. We have a Google Home that plays someone's music all day so headphones are a must if you get stuck with that one guy that loves Celtic rock or something else that you don't prefer.
I have a really hard time concentrating with strong smells, so when someone gets a stinky lunch, I purchased a candle that sits under my nose :)
Also, all of the developers are on an island in the middle of this open office so when a coworker has jittery legs or is tapping his/her foot or is drumming on his/her desk to the celtic rock music blaring out of the Google Home, my monitors shake and feel every vibration.
I'm probably overly sensitive because I have trouble concentrating to begin with, but safe to say, I'm not sold on the open office concept 😂

Yikes, the Google Home is constantly playing someone else's music all day? That seems unfair, especially in an open office.
Wow! A new level of distraction has been unlocked! :X
I also have trouble concentrating, but I feel like I would the guy with jittery legs, and desktop drumming
