Are you one of the millions of office workers who have to work in an open plan environment? What do you think of it both on a personal and professional level?
Strictly I suppose my office is “open plan” on a minuscule scale! I sit beside my partner – he’s a self employed PC technician and we work within about 2 ft of each other.
