I stomped into my manager's office this morning and told him that I no longer can share an office with my current office mate. I told him in no uncertain terms that if he didn't give me a private cubical I would quit. The result? I'm moving my stuff into my new cubical today. Of course, we were moving anyways but the illusion of power is kind of fun.

Nice, now your employee file has a new entry… “Not a team player. Does not work well with others.”
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I knew someone who did that. His boss immediately offered him space in his own cube. After careful consideration, he decided to make due where he was.

:laugh: yeah... that wouldn't want to be an office space I'd want to share.

Not necessarily. My current desk is situated next to a guy who hammers on his desk and swears profusely whenever he gets stuck, something doesn't work or when something simply bothers him. Everybody in the entire company is aware of this so when I brought up the fact that I find his outbursts very distracting and my productivity is suffering, management took my side without batting an eyelid because they've heard it a million times before from everyone else. He's been moved into a different team in a different room with a completely different remit.

I used to work with a guy who was a relic from the space program who worked equipment used in the Apollo missions. Real smart, but crass as all heck, dominated conversations, bitched about everything and would block the entrance to the cube to prevent you from escaping. He also considered hygiene optional. Mondays were a gem, wearing the same pants for weeks but put on a clean shirt on Mondays. The smell of Tide and old man body odor was like no other smell I’ve ever wanted smell again. He and the company I worked for eventually parted.
