The Cubicle Job Employee Manual - Unauthorized Version

This Employee Manual is for you, my friend. If you are like me, a wage slave in a cubicle job, you need someone on your side. How do you stay motivated? How to get a raise, a promotion, a better job, a better life? These are deep philosophical questions that have been considered by the best minds for centuries. The answer is ... sorry, got to take this call, I'll get back to you after my 3:00 meeting. I promise.

The usual corporate employee manual starts with a description of Your Corporation, its grand history, its great products and people, blah, blah, blah. Then their Mission Statement, which is always incomprehensible bullshit. Truthfully it should just say "We will do just about anything legal to maximize our profits, especially our CEOs compensation."

Instead since this Employee Manual is for and about YOU, let's write a personal one, for You, Inc.

So write your own introduction, please:
Hi, I am Inc.
I have many great qualities, such as:

and

My achievements are totally awesome, I will exaggerate them here:
My Personal Mission Statement:

en·cu´·bi·cled    [en-kyoo'-bi-kuhld]
-adj
  1. Physically enclosed within an office cubicle.
  2. Metaphysically trapped within the confines of an cubicle job, with little hope of escape, except for coffee breaks.
  3. Regarding a state of mind, where normality means commuting long distances to toil for many hours within a small box-like structure. Similar to cows voluntarily coming back to their stalls to be milked each day. Flatulence is usually involved in both cases.

Now there are many other things that belong in our Cubicle Job Employee Manual. Way too many for one web page, unless you like those really long "sales letter" types of pages.

How did we end up sitting on our butts all day, staring at a computer within a box with a missing side? To ponder this, we could first understand the history of our beloved office cubicle.

OK, so we have a cubicle job. Can we at least pimp up the work area a bit? Check out Cubicle Usage. It is an Owner's Manual, with ideas on options and accessories, ergonomics, and silly products. Some people want even more than cubbies and adjustable table heights (you always want more!). Ever considered if your cubicle is in need of Feng Shui modifications, or at least personalization that might improve your mood or motivation? See Cubicle Decor.

Did I hear you say you want to kill that guy on the other side of the partition that uses speaker-phone all day long? Simmer down, we need to address our manners and means of interacting with our coworkers. Especially that guy — he needs some Cubicle Etiquette.
