When I worked in a cubicle, I hung up my preschool diploma.

Keep them in your home office, not your cubicle.

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.

I've seen some hang their CPAs in their offices but not degrees.....to each his own...my undergrad CPA are framed and displayed at my home office....

In my future role I will definitely frame and hang my degrees. It's like losing weight - you want to show off your hard work.

If I worked in an open concept workplace though.....it could get awkward...

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 paid many tens of thousands of dollars for those pieces of paper. Framing them is the cheapest part of the process!

I think mine my mother has mine in her house somewhere. I understand why doctors hang them up but think everyone else is pretentious. I don't care where you went to school and which degrees you earned.

I don't really want to hang them up at home, either, so the office seems like the best place for them.

I have no idea where my diplomas are. most people in my role have phds and I have never seen someone hang their diploma.

I have an office with 4 walls and would never think of hanging my diplomas. It is not a sharp look.

It screams, "hey! I'm insecure!"

Lol. Right next to your string of chili pepper lights.

I’ve seen people hang diplomas (undergrad, law, medicine, masters, etc.) on office walls. I think it’s a sharp look. If you sit in a cubicle, though, is it odd to put them up? Imagine very high cubicle walls, not the super low kind.
