how would you perceive if some one wrote on their desk....

"I don't like my desk"

what would be the right way or right words to describe how someone feels about their office desk location.
if there are no other empty spaces to move to and if a person is stuck with that space.. what to do?

The person sitting in the office behind me is making a big deal about me standing or turning around to talk to other coworkers.
my back faces his office.
every time I turn or stand,he responds by kicking his door shut very loudly.
even if I forget his office is there, his reaction makes me aware that he is there and is thinking it is all about him.

I don't want to go and discuss this directly with him. he acts all bossy. many times he does not respond politely.

I would think it is weird and passive aggressive and unprofessional. Do not right passive aggressive notes on the back of your chair. Talk to people if there is a serious issue.

He's welcome to keep his door closed at all times. Too bad that other folks have to do their jobs near him.

I would keep the note, and write down when it happened. Then I would go about my business and ignore him. Don't address it or him.

If anything like this happens again, I would raise it to my manager.

I'd worry this guy will go postal. Sounds unstable to me.

You posted this a few weeks ago. Be an adult and deal with it.

Did he put the sign on his chair? Or do you want to put the sign on your chair?

+1 Notes are for ten year old girls. Talk to your supervisor if you aren't comfortable talking to the office jerk. You need to learn to move on.

I don't understand: does he feel you disturb him when you talk to people who approach your desk area?
What, if anything, has he suggested?

[Anonymous]

This behavior is so childish.

OP here.

only my desk is right opposite to his office.
yes, anytime I turn around if someone stops by my desk, he closes his office door quite loudly.
I am not an assertive person. quite a shy person and like to stay quiet and do my work.
I do not have what it takes to walk to his office and discuss what the issue is.
There are many eyes and ears that would be interested in knowing what is happening.
This is a open floor plan.
I will talk to HR and I do not want to give any reasons. I would not know what reason to tell.

It is a very unhappy situation for me.
He may be holding an important post in the company but at personal level, he is not important to me.
It bothers me that he can slam door and insult. Obviously he assumes he is important and people are turning to look at him.
He has his stand up meetings every morning right behind my desk.
I wish I had an office and a door to slam the door shut.

right when you get in, close his door.

You are still in a passive aggressive mindset. Where is your supervisor in all of this? I would not recommend going to HR.

Is there another desk you can move to?

My perception would be that they don't like their job either and are asking to be fired.

I close my door whenever people congregate nearby (including to talk to someone in an adjacent office) and it's because I can't focus with all of the chitchat. I don't have a problem with it, I just can't work as effectively with it in the background. I don't slam the door or anything but I do sometimes reach over and give it a push so it makes a noise upon closing. I hadn't thought about it until reading this thread but it's possible that others think I'm being hostile. Just wanted to put this out there that the guy might not intend the message you think he is.
