true!

smuffy, you're their supervisor, right?
it's okay that you have a nicer office- you've worked for it and need the space, privacy, and even though it feels strange... you are not one of them. it doesn't make you less of a team.

enjoy the space.

Yeah, Im the Director. And even that feels a little uncomfortable. I was OK as the Manager. But this feels a bit disjointed to me. I really love getting into the nitty gritty and doing the work myself. I dont like being too far removed lol. drives me crazy.
Im sure I'll get over it with time. Its just an adjustment (not that Im not dealing with a 1001 admustments in my life right now lol)

Has anyone else ever felt this way? They moved me into this nice office with cherry wood furniture, big ol window, huge ass floor plant in the corner. bookcases. Meanwhile, everyone who works for me is outside my office sitting in cubicles.

This gives me a weird sense of embarrassment for some reason. Almost as if I feel guilty for having this office. Like i dont deserve it.

Last thing I want is for people to think I have a superiority complex or something. So when people come into my new office and make comments about how nice it is etc, I get uncomfortable. I dont want them to think that i think I'm above them. Mostly because I despise pretentious people. So I dont want to be perceived as one.

Am i just a freakin weirdo? Does what I'm saying even make sense?

This is why I you!

like for reals.....you're amazing!

 

[blueta2]

hmm, you're ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ;-)

Many progressive co's are changing this form of office set up. Managers/Directors and just your reg everyday shlepps are all being treated equally. No one gets a better parking spot, or office or special treatment because everyone is just an an employee whether you have a better postion or not. This is actually how they do it at Google.

p.s, this thread makes me realize how much I don't miss office work

buy yourself a new car too, or a good preowned lexus with lots of insurance. don't forget that everybody that works for you has to bring in cake on friday for you and only you.

i'm guessing there is an elevator at the building.
