I'm currently facing the option of having to take a workplace in an open-plan office, and I'm not used to it. In Germany, office work environments are traditionally different than in the United States, with more people having their own office (including me). I think it's a trend to save costs and put people in open-plan offices, I just don't know whether it's a trend within the U.S., too, or whether it's a form of americanization of Europe. Unfortunately, it's not just low-level, low-wage employees who are expected to work in an open-plan office, but also people in more senior positions.

Given the reduced level of privacy in such an office, I'm wondering how other men on this forum manage to lead a sexually active lifestyle that is compatible with work. Staying in a shared space with multiple people all day makes it hard to have any private activities (text girls, have phone calls, visit websites like RVF) you don't want your colleagues to know about. Basically, you are under constant surveillance.

How do the American brothers (and others) deal with this? Any tips or experiences? And how well is it even avoidable if you just happen to have an office job? Please don't tell me to get a totally different kind of job, that's not helpful.

Other question, how many of you are able to work in a room for themselves (without other people listening / watching)?
