Trying to hold a hybrid (in-person/Zoom) meeting while in an open-plan office where there are other conversations going on.
No, we tried headsets. The microphones pick up other people talking 10 feet away, so there's a hideous echo.
@peterdrake I'm pretty sure that Tati was cynical about this without using words in his film Playtime. Open plans are for offices that want to look busy, as opposed to actually being busy, I think. Sorry that this is how faculty have it now!
@peterdrake Good, good! It's good that you have offices with doors. They turned our TA offices into an open plan and I held many office hours there, so I feel the pain. Good luck this semester!
