Hello! I've been MIA for a while because work totally blew up on me. grr!
I have a question that I'm pretty sure someone can come up with a good answer for! Our head of office's assitant is trying to draw up an e-mail with some office etiquette reminders. This e-mails is mainly directed at my new cube neighbor who is awful! How do you tactfully mention that one should not stand and talk on their phone while living in cubeland? It's so obnoxious and only makes his loudness worse because his voice projects over the cube walls. He also paces his cube while standing and talking on the phone which just makes it that much more annoying. None of us can think of way to phrase it without specifically pointing him out. Any suggestions?!?!
Re: Hey girls!
Perhaps: just a reminder that while on the phone at your desk, you must remain seated. (??)
"One of the drawbacks of having an office full of cubicles is that there are few, if any, noise barriers. Therefore, we must all remember to remain in our seats in front of our desks while on the telephone, so that our coworkers don't have to hear any more of our conversation than what is strictly necessary."
Eh, big deal if if he figures out that it's about him. Maybe then he'll then realize he's been inconsiderate and needs to shape up.
