They’re actually trying to solve the calls thing, but in the worst way: super fucking loud “white noise machines”. Basically a tiny speaker in every other ceiling tile that makes it sound like the most oppressive AC setup in the world.
God I didn’t even consider packing tape, our office is extremely open but I bet I could stay late and sabotage every other speaker to try and reduce the noise a bit.
We used regular tape.
Take a disposable coffee cup, flip it over. Make a roundish star of tape on it, sticky side up, then put the cup on a broom handle and press it against the speaker on the ceiling.
No climbing needed ;)
Might not work for other models of speakers I guess, ours were just about perfectly sized for the disposable cup!

We put tape over those. Other people, too lazy to do the same, we’re jealous of our cube farm!
