I was working with just one headphone attached and boss asks what I was listening to, I said I was listening to some podcast, she was outraged.

I can't use headphones anymore and my workstation has been moved se they can see what I'm doing on the PC.

I'm on gamefaqs now, I wonder if they're seeing this.

Does your work require auditory attention?
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

Next time state that you're wearing earplugs to protect yourself from hearing damage or a sensory disorder

That sucks. I probably would've fallen asleep and lit the whole building on fire at one of my previous jobs if I couldn't have podcasts on to keep me alert.

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

I have a third monitor that I use specifically for netlifx/youtube or something when I don't have to have all my focus on work. They don't care here. It's nice.

It seems you work at a fascist organization and need to get the fuck out.

I have both earbuds in while washing dishes and mopping the floors at my job, and as long as Im getting the work done right, my boss doesnt really care too much about it.

Do you have a window by your desk and can look out and see the squirrels?

My cube neighbor listens to podcasts all day with headphones, and I don't mind that, but what's really annoying is that he laughs out loud at all the funny parts

Would you rather he play it loud so you can laugh too?

You have a workstation? This is management behavior I'd expect from a night shift Walmart supervisor, not an office. That really sucks.

Or just be aware of how much noise you're making, it's pretty basic cubicle etiquette man

I said JUST that to my cube neighbor, she's a girl and her earbud gets covered by her long hair.
