In office today, in my regular seat, doing my regular work.

A new team has moved onto our floor and they are waaaaaaay to fucking cheerful and loud.

In my new managerial role I am going to have a word with their supervisor and give a polite reminder about shared workspaces.

It does my head in when people are loud in shared workspaces, like shut up, people are working here. Thereโ€™s a special circle of hell reserved for the woman who does personal calls on speakerphone in my office.

haha they did that to my department a while a go. Closed our office moved us into an office building in the middle of a floor with all the sales guys on the phone all day. Didnt last 12 hours before a department head was telling us to shut up, and the head of our department went "well, maybe don't close our office and stick us in the middle of everyone else then ya dick!" Mad respect for the guy.

I mean I get it, but also feel that shared working spaces should be treated a bit more delicately.
