Co-Workers Annoying You?

Are your co-workers annoying you at work by talking to loudly? Do you wish you could take a fog horn and toot it around, just so that they would quiet down?

I also work in an environment where it gets a little too loud at times. It's an open-concept office and at times, I would like my colleagues to simmer down a bit.

Here are some tips on getting your team members to lower their voices:

1. Ask the group of people to quiet down, move their conversation to a meeting room or even take the conversation outside. It's nice to socialize at times, but we are here to work. Taking a break is good for your health, but it's not a bar or a club.

2. You can take your work with you (if you have a laptop) to a coffee shop or another tranquil place, such as a park.

3. If all else fails, wear ear plugs. You'd be amazed of how well they work.
