open thread – October 11, 2024 — Ask a Supervisor


Hello all!

On the lookout for some perspective and assistance on the right way to method this dialog with our workplace supervisor/HR.

Let me begin by saying, I in all probability need assistance on sifting by what’s really necessary (and due to this fact “okay”) to deliver up at work vs what’s simply me being tough and I ought to in all probability preserve it to myself.

For background – Im 3 months into my present job. It’s a small firm, about 10 individuals altogether, together with the house owners. HR is 1 one that is reception/admin/workplace supervisor/and so forth and AFAIK nobody actually works from house often though I used to be informed in my interview that it’s an choice.

On to the difficulty –

I share an workplace with somebody the place we sit throughout from one another with a thick partition protecting all view so we by no means see one another whereas at our desks. Past well mannered greetings we don’t speak to one another and our work doesn’t overlap. After a earlier job the place everybody consistently talked to one another all day lengthy, this may be nice besides:

Each single name they make is on speakerphone, together with the extraordinarily lengthy maintain instances with music, and on full quantity. These are all work calls as a result of nature of the job, not private calls.

Slurping and chewing all day lengthy – meals noises by no means appeared to trouble me till now. If it was restricted to a couple meals/snacks a day I wouldn’t fuss however that is all day lengthy along with all the pieces else.

They speak to themselves all.day.lengthy.
Throwing recordsdata on the ground – that has startled me consistently. I’ve a knee jerk response the place I audibly gasp at loud sudden noises like that. He apologized on the time however….it nonetheless occurs.
Even typing on the pc feels like an offended typing electronic mail..
banging fists on the desk
generally it actually

These sounds all intensify because the day goes on.

To date what I’ve completed is –

headphones, which helps for a bit of little bit of time. However after greater than an hour I get a headache, to not point out they’re not snug to put on. I do have a couple of pairs that I can check out however once more, I don’t need to need to put on all of them day lengthy.

I’ve requested if our work telephones can assist headsets/headphones however I don’t assume they do. The workplace supervisor has really introduced up the telephone difficulty to him a couple of instances after feedback from myself and others, but it surely continues.

I’ve tried coming in earlier, 7 as an alternative of 9 so I can have some quiet time and keep away from the noise, however they didn’t like that. Additionally, I can’t get a key to enter, so if I are available earlier than anybody else, I’ll be ready outdoors.

Past the telephone name difficulty I haven’t introduced up the rest as a result of I simply can’t think about what the answer could be and I simply don’t need to come throughout as being imply or tough. I don’t need to harm the coworkers emotions as a result of I’ve been on that finish; in any other case this can be a good job so I don’t need to jeopardize it.
