Diplomas in cubicle

[Anonymous]

I would not do that.

The only decoration I have in my cubicle is the stuffed head of a lynx that I had to kill with a bottle opener when I was camping out west.

Do you have any Advanced Diplomas or Licenses?

My parents paid to frame my diplomas. I can't think of anything else to do with them besides hang them on my office walls. I certainly don't need them at home. Lots of attorneys in my office do this, presumably for the same reason. Cubicles are a little odder, but unless they are those honking big ones from UVA (seriously, why are those things so freaking big?) it's probably fine. I wouldn't hang it up if you only have an undergrad degree, though.

You can store them in a closet.

This is hilarious and spot on!

My diplomas from college and law school are framed...and I think they are leaning against some boxes in my basement. Never put them up.

My office has a giant clock from ikea surrounded by framed photos and some bright artwork by my kids. I'm tempted to put up a sticker that says mean people suck, but that's probably not professional (even though it would be awesome).

I know someone who somehow shoved a couch in their office. Rumor is they sleep there sometimes. It literally takes up 2/3 of the office.

Re: cubicles - in addition to lights, I've seen full length mirrors, area rugs, storage benches with fluffy pillows like you'd see in a sorority girl's dorm, and a storage shelf stocked like a kitchen pantry.

I've also seen jumbo scented candles lit. I'm not sure open flames in cubicles are a good idea.

Is this fed?

I have a license, but all 00s have it so I haven’t put it up in my cubicle. There was a big brouhaha when we went open plan though.

OP, it is not a "sharp look." It is a pathetically insecure look.

Don't do this to yourself. Don't be that person.

Eh. When I first started working I lived in a studio with one closet. I took the diplomas to the office, hung them on the walls, and left them there for ten years. Doesn't seem to matter much.

I think the only time I’ve seen diplomas being hung are at my professors office or a lawyers office

Also MDs

Otherwise it's like what? Oh cool you studied something that brought you here....why are you proud of yourself again?

I have a PhD and I've never hung it on the wall in a shared office. Never seen anyone else do it either.
