Why no headphones? Is management a bunch of Nazis?

By spreading such usage of the word Nazis you're numbing down the average person's response to someone being called a Nazi, as it becomes a normal thing.

Save the term for people who deserve it

I've once visited an office that was like this. Was a publisher with a big IT department. Large office room, perhaps 40-50 desks. No headphones allowed. I don't remember the reason. I would go crazy, it was not a quiet office.

I have no idea tbh, on the headphones side; they’re not Nazis (I don’t think).

What if you just....wore headphones? Will security escort you put with a baton?

No but I’m sure the bosses would ask me not to do that.

You won't be able to hear them! Problem solved.
