Well cayenne8...Unpleasant distractions in a job can make a job...well, unpleasant. Take me for example, I'm a developer who does a lot of analytical problem solving. Yet, I'm almost constantly distracted by the big-mouthed middleware guy who sits in the adjacent cubical and talks on the phone all day with a loud annoying voice. I wear 30db headphones sometimes, which help. I even asked to be moved to another cubical but I have to wait on an answer because the company may be moving to a nearby town in a few months, anyway. Also, most of us spend more the our waking hours of our lives at work than outside of work. My point is that people who feel ostracized or uncomfortable in their work environment are dealing with distractions...and distractions can impact work performance and/or physical/mental health.
