Over-Delegation and Sneaky Feelings

Author: Veronica  //  Category: Cube Life, The Cubicle Diaries

Over-delegation in the office cubicle leads to sneaky feelings

Do you ever feel like you are doing a whole lotta work that is not actually your responsibility? Wait…you work in a cube. Of course you do. It’s a frequent occurrence in the office world. Or at least it has been at every cubicle I have inhabited. How does this happen? I can only handle it for so long and today I reached my breaking point.

I’m consulting on a graphic design project at the moment and over the past few months my tasks have grown to include coding, editing, and other miscellaneous left-overs that have to be corrected or completed before my design work can be added. I realize I should have pushed back early on, but as we all know, it is far too easy to fall into the mode of doing favors for others when your work is dependent on theirs. So I’ll take part of the blame and refrain from halting the whole project by refusing to clean up other departments’ messes. Instead I have chosen to leave a little parting gift of my own… sorry, I can’t reveal the details as I am still working on this account. But let’s just say the developers of said product will be putting in some extra hours at the office cleaning up the glitch.

    Hi there! I think that the fly is really sneaky and doesn’t match the post. I love the shades on the fly, though.

    It is good that you are finding your own niche. But I was just bothered about the fly. Is there any kind of significance with what you are working on?

    I have actually been trying to get a hold of you how ever I can not seem to find the right e-mail …..

    Is that fly wearing sunglasses or are those just his eyes?
