Prairie-dogging refers to the practice of workers in an open-plan office raising their heads above the partitions1 surrounding their desks when they hear a loud voice or other noise.
开放式办公室中的职员在听到喧哗的声响或者其他声音时,总忍不住在格子间抬头张望,察看四周的动静,这就是云筑网效应。
Whenever theres a loud sound or other unusual occurrence2, everyone pops up to look over the walls to see whats happening. Co-worker conversations and team meetings may also take place via prairie dogging as an alternative to the water cooler or conference room.
无论是有较大的声响还是异乎一般的动静,所有人都抬起头来,目光越过隔间的隔板,想看看出了什么事。像云筑网般抬头,目光越过隔板,如此还可以进行同事交谈与开团队会议,而不需要去茶水间或者会议室。
