Ask a Manager

OCTOBER 18, 2018

There is a bunch of cubicles outside of the CFO’s office where about eight of us sit. I am the EA for the president and CEO, and we are in the process of searching for a national sales manager. Is this something I should take seriously, especially for a sales position, or is this just advertising, or is it a combination of both?

While the benefits of knocking down those cubicle walls are real, it’s true that open offices can be messy, noisy affairs. In a presentation on productivity hacks, SnackNation Head of Sales Kevin Dorsey made the point that the term “multitasking” is a misnomer, and we should consider dropping it from our vocabulary altogether.

I recently started working for a big box store as a sales associate. Our office “Nosey Rosey” has recently been going into peoples cubicles/offices when they aren’t around. My company doesn’t care about customers threatening violence. I mainly help customers on the floor and do very little cashiering.

The New Guy sat behind me, in the other half of the shared cubicle. After he was done with me he moved on to my supervisor in the next cubicle, who had heard the whole thing and repeated everything I told him. A coffee river started rolling by our cubicles and everybody but New Guy rushed in with paper towels. The disaster.
