Besides being an adult and telling her to get a pair of headphones (I mean, seriously it is 2022), how should I handle this?

If it is a December 1 thing and this ends at 5 pm I may let her live.

It is a large floorplan but there are 5 of us trapped in here.

Lumbergh told her she could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume.

Buy a small stereo with detachable speakers. Aim the speakers at her, so that she can hear them and you cannot (as much as possible). Play death metal....

...or you could just tell her that you have a hard time concentrating with her music. You need quiet. Can she turn it down.

Playing any music or having radio on at desk should be prohibited. Supervisor or manager should put an end to it.

Instead of Christmas, from 3-5 pm she did online narrated training modules with NO HEADPHONES.

I will let you all know if the Christmas music comes back and if I handle it like a grownup or aggressively throw a pair of headphones from HEB at her.

Either:

1) Close the door to your office.
2) If you don't have an office, this is part of your initiation. We all had to go through it.

Be an adult and either ask her politely to use headphones (maybe offer some to her if you have an extra)

Or if you dont give a **** about your working relationship with her then tell her straight forward to either turn it off or get headphones.

One person put up an inflatable polar bear outside of her cubicle this year. Glad I'm in an office, couldn't imagine listening to the blower all day long in the cubicles next to her.

Or just put Metallica's "So What" on a loop and leave.

No music today! I gave her a really complex and annoying mission that she has been dealing with since 10 am!

Would he be complaining if she was? NO, he'd being singing Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, and All I want for Christmas is You and he'd like it.

Seriously though, just close the door to your office and let the seat fillers out in the cube farm deal with it.
