No, I do NOT want to hear about your effing backpacking international trip, complete with SQUEALS about how GREAT it was, and how tired you are from the flight back.

For 30 minutes.

SHUT UP already!

Fighting this, now. How do you make that request without sounding like a prima donna? I could not believe when someone asked me, why aren't you sitting at the cube we gave you? out in the open...on the hallway. WTF?

I got promoted to a level where I was given my own office.

You make $200k and you don't have your own office?

That's pretty common, especially in IT.

OK. I was a DOJ attorney and such a thing would have been unheard of, even for the non-attorneys.

Not only in IT, many finance companies have this standard as well. In fact, often the highest paid people at these places not only have no office, but have no cube either (traders who sit on a trading desk).

Yes, but they're busy trading and not SQUEEING about their trips.

So where *are* you sitting if not in your cube? A conference room?

I had an office, now I have a cube. They are constructing mini cubes, that are very open as we speak. I hate open concept offices, but you can't really fight it here. In our sister office, only VPs and above get an office with a door, resulting in a lot of irritated managers and directors. We also stay because of the salary.

Hate it.
