How often do Ops speak to traders?

How much face-to-face contact to operations staff have with traders? I hear stories of them sitting on the trading floor and stories of them being locked away in a windowless basement, so was just wondering.

The trend is moving away from face to face with increasing use of technology. While I know some that sit on the trading floor, the majority aren't even in the same city anymore. Outskirts of NY, Charlotte, Jacksonville are seeing increasing amounts of ops guys.
