I mean, that reduces to basically anything that distracts me from work. Ideally there are
no non-work conversations of any kind happening in an open floor plan office. And even work conversations should be kept to a minimum, and taken to a conference room if there's going to be any length and substance.
Why focus on political speech when it's really any non-work speech that's distracting and should be banned?
But we all know that's impossible to enforce, and we've developed unfortunate but necessary coping mechanisms, like noise-canceling headphones.
Or maybe, y'know, just give up on the open-office concept, which has always been a productivity destroyer. I imagine post-COVID office spaces will be much more conducive to quiet and productivity.
