Do you need the office for your ego?

Office space (no movie reference) is limited in my company, especially in my building.

Offices are generally reserved / allocated to directors and above, rarely does a manager get one (few exceptions include corp security, fraud, HR etc.).

To get a view of our structure (in the simplest way) it's:

Peon -> Lead -> Supervisor -> Manager -> Manager (2) -> Director -> VP etc..
Add a few steps here and there etc..

We have a team lead (note: LEAD) who is quite egotistical and expects everyone to drop everything for him.

We recently had someone leave an office and you guessed it, within a week he's fully moved into the new office, without authorization. I've even heard him bragging to people "they gave me an office".

Really now, so why didn't I get a ticket to move your phone# over to the office? Oh yeah, it's not authorized.

I can't wait for the day they assign it to someone and they confront him about it.

You could always requisition some storage space.

Looking forward to it.

You could always requisition some storage space.

Even better,

Since the office is not assigned then no one is using that terminal in the PBX so I could reprogram it for someone else or even turn it off, we do need to cut costs!
