Individual offices are out - shared space is in. How not to drive your co-workers nuts...


A lot of companies have done away with cushy offices and cubicles in favor of open, shared work spaces...

This new trend is leaving us more prone than ever to or coworkers annoying behavior. Janine Popick, CEO and founder of VerticalResponse, has the top open office faux pas to avoid:


* Save It For the Bathroom, Please: Primping in public is STILL out of style. The biggest offenders include clipping or polishing nails, flossing teeth and putting on a face-full of makeup.

* Your Noises: Some of the offenses that people cite as annoying include ongoing throat clearing, coughing, sniffing, loud typing and piercing laughter. While shocking sneezes and hiccups can't always be avoided, consider yourself annoying.

* Too Much Information: Don’t be the colleague who feels a bit too comfortable sharing intimate details of her latest date or every last detail about his kid's school field trip. Or the one who’s endless chatter distracts everyone around her.
