At my workplace we have something in between. It is divided by rows with a wall high enough dividing them so you don't see the people in front of you.
Apart from that we have private focus rooms that you can book. So it's nice.
I think, the real problem are your co-workers. I used to have this guy next to me who would be constantly interrupting me with a million questions and who also was very loud. It was driving me nuts, making me spend a good part of the day in the focus room.
On the other hand now I have a really cool guy next to me, very experienced who will interrupt me once every two days and always if he doesn't see me focused (i.e. headset on). :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
