I agree I think those notes are racist!

Your cubicle is your private area – but make sure you don’t do anything you would ever do in your other private areas. That is a thing of beauty.

I have one issue that’s not on that list (that I saw anyway). I have a cube neighbor that reads aloud. I don’t mean the occasional moving of the lips as one reads over that email before sending. I’m talking full volume, loud, sometimes mistaken for conversation, reading.
She also breaks every other faux pax on the list on a daily basis.
I so want to serve her with an eviction notice.

It’s a CATCH 22.

How do you complain about something someone has displayed in their cubicle if you aren’t even allowed to glance in that direction?

Question: Upon hire, are walking sticks (such as those red & white ones for the blind) supplied to reduce risk of peeking into a neighbor / neighbour’s cubicle?

I’d really like an answer.

I totally agree with you there. This reminds me of the Drew Carey Show episode with the offensive picture he hangs in his office space.

Am I the only one that watched that show?

Maybe I was so attached because my grandmother wore make-up like Mimi.
RIP Grandmama.

I love my job, even if I do have to work in a cubicle, except for one thing…or rather, one person. The woman 2 cubicles away has several-times-daily telephone conversations with her on-the-road husband, each lasting up to 2 hours. (I am not exaggerating.) She has them in her “outside voice,” and I have gone the entire route from listening to music as loud as I can bear it with earbuds to massive over-the-ear headphones trying to block her out, to no avail. It might be okay if she talked about anything interesting, to make my inadvertent eavesdropping worthwhile, but her topics have ranged from explaining how to knit (I swear to God!) to lessons on Spanish grammar rules to therapy sessions on anger management (I need that thanks to her!) to childlike sing song-y recitations of their daughter’s latest toilet training efforts. I am not the only one who has a problem with this, everyone in this area of the office can hear her and complains to each other about it, but my supervisor is apparently and conveniently deaf to all of this. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Really annoying when someone in the next cubicle decides to move the office furniture around without saying anything first making it necessary for you to waste time and effort having to rearrange yours.
Would be nice if they’d left a note to say that’s what they were going to do to make their workspace nicer – or even left a note afterwards to say sorry!

I hate people who look over your cube walls too – it may be a workspace but invasion of personal space is distracting!!!!!

[...] add that characterizing this as a safety concern is a bit of a stretch too, but i think the amazing clip art and the hand-drawn smiley are what really push this one over the [...]

This is hilarious to me because corporations save a tonne of money by not providing office space for their employees… then go off complaining that people can see and hear each others confidential work related activities! Too bad morons! get us some DOORS

I leave my drums at home. I NEVER play them at the office.

Something about thinking your feet smell good?

Rather than worrying about “gab sessions” on company time, maybe someone should be seeing who is wasting time typing up shit, fonting it to death, clip arting it, printing it off, and then trodding to the board to pin it up.

Next time someone glances in my cubicle I am going to cut them, and good!
