(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)
It’s actually a fast-paced and unpredictable environment. The job is about how fast you switch from playing games/browsing lemmy to look like you are working when the “management” passing by

I’d love a cubical, at work we only had open spaces the last 15 years or so. It’s so loud and distracting, I hate it. But the upper management always has their own individual office where they can just close the door.

The one up side to the open floor plan at work is it makes throwing nerf darts at co workers across the office easier.
Nothing is better when you’re frustrated than beaming a dart at your buddy.

That would make me explode. We had guys flying those mini quadcopters at the office, oh my god it was so annoying.
