Since the new office follows an open concept, it is not difficult to hear conversations between other colleagues if they happen to be near you. I myself have a tendency to speak loudly too especially over the phone.... but nothing beats the volume of my "neighbour"... some of you know who.... well, that doesn't matter.
But today, it was my first "encounter" when my this neighbour quarrelled with her "supervisor" over some work, at the discussion table nearby.... yes near my cubicle. I was on the phone with an external party when I heard SHOUTING from them. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING.. they were REALLY SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER, AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS. The noise got to a certain point that I have to stop my conversation and ask them to go to the room!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so embarrassing....
Open concept... this is what we all have to put up..... but i just hope people can be more considerate and aware.... I am not asking for whispering but some sense of control.

Really? When you asked them to go to the meeting room, they pai seh or not?
hahah...ooo so these are the 2 loudhailers u're talking bout..
Gb, it was really damn loud, the whole dept could hear, heng our director wasn't ard. but sigh I think we really have to learn how to control our emotions at work. I'm not sure if htey paiseh anot, but even after they were in the meeting rm, I heard some loud noises again for a short while.
They did not appear to be paiseh lor... they jus stared at each other and the lady jus walked away. I think they really sounded extremely childish.
