My office is on 3 floors, all open-plan. The Big Bosses (Area Directors - very high grade) are on the ground floor, in what we call The Executive Suite (but they don't have their own loo) and they too share a large room. We don't have telephone contact with the public any more as that's all dealt with by call centres so the atmosphere is quite relaxed and there's quite a fair amount of space so one doesn't feel overcrowded. It can be distracting when you're concentrating and someone's having a conversation within earshot but I'm the sort who can "switch off" so it's not a problem.

I didn't think I would like it when we moved to new premises, 10 years ago, but now I wouldn't like to go back to the old system.
