These human horse blinders will keep open office workers from being distracted

I find a heavy hoodie pretty much does what this product does.

Maybe that’s why hackers are always wearing them. Do they work in annoying open office plans?

Must be cold as well. My boss has poor circulation and wears those fingerless gloves.

I still remember using huge, old school headphones (plugged into nothing) to escape from drop-ins trying to distract me so I could do their job for them.

Has to be a good cube though!

That means floor-ceiling walls, and a door…

Noooooooo, thanks.

I remember a line from the Drew Carey Show which was painfully appropriate.

“My husband invented the cubicle. At first he was going to put workers in cages. But then he realized he only needed three walls for people to feel trapped and hopeless”

Gotta love the current crop of executives: telecommuting is bad, cramming as many people as possible into a single room is good.
