Today, my intern was given his own office. I have been asking to move out of my cubicle for nearly four years. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I asked my boss if I could have a bigger cubicle. I'm now working in one that is half the size of my old one. FML
Today, for the third time this week, my boss made me switch desks. Each new desk is closer to the door than the last one. I think he's trying to tell me something. FML
Today, I spent my lunch break helping a coworker move a desk to another office. When I got back, my own desk had been moved to make room for someone new. Nobody had told me where they’d put it. FML
Today, I moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML
Today, I have been in my "office" for 6 weeks. It is literally a closet. I was reminded of this fact when a janitor walked in without knocking, carrying empty boxes he intended to store. FML
Today, we moved desks for the umpteenth time, and my supervisor stuffed me in a corner by the door with no one around to talk to. The worst thing is I hear the badge reader beep every few seconds. It's already driving me crazy. FML
Today, it was a new co-worker's first day, and yet again management told them to use the room I always use, and I yet again had to relocate my stuff to accommodate the newbie. FML
Today, my boss hired a feng shui consultant for our small office space. I am the only full-time employee besides the owners, and I work as an unpaid intern. My company would rather pay someone to rearrange my desk than pay me to work at it. FML
Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML
Today, I walked into my new office for the first time after receiving the promotion I've been trying for. Someone took a dump on my desk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe it's time to take charge. Tell your boss how you feel and assertively ask for an office

Sometimes work just isn't fair. Prove to them you deserve one and you'll get what you need eventually!

Aren't all cubicles the same anyway?

This guy's not going to be an intern for much longer.

One thing you have to realize is constantly asking can annoy the boss. It's best to let your work speak for itself and normally you'll get recognition for that.

How does it feel knowing that you are training your future boss. Be nice to him he might give you your own office in time.

Don't ask. Earn one. Don't be that person who begs but doesn't put the work into getting it.

Probably cause you asked

Yeah, I don't understand that. Perhaps it is favouritism.

That is just blatant disrespect on your company's part. I would find a new job asap and leave them without a notice. In today's economy its never good to burn bridges business wise but in this case I'd make an exception. Best of luck OP
