Question

to: tumult web design employees
from: ruida menendez, hr director
subject: new noise policy for cubicles

hello everyone.

i have received several complaints concerning the amount of noise in the cubicles on the third floor.

a number of programmers in this area have begun playing music over their computers speakers. although im sure the intent of the music is to help foster a creative and fun work environment, the music can be distracting to others and can hinder productivity.

going forward, please make sure that all music played in cubicles, including audio from online videos, is transmitted through headphones and not speakers. employees are responsible for bringing in their own headphones. please contact me if you have any questions.

sincerely,

ruida
