Today, my intern was given his own office. I have been asking to move out of my cubicle for nearly four years. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Mostly OK
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
What just happened?
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
Hotdesking sucks
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
Priorities
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

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!

Ouch sorry OP, bosses tend to forget the elders working there and promote the new. Be assertive and talk to your boss I'm sure they can work some thing out for your work space.

To be honest, it sounds like nepotism is in play cause I don't know how interns get their own office that quick

In order for it to be nepotism the intern would have to be related to the main boss otherwise it is just regular favoritism

you're politely asking him to get fired.

Was your intern connected in the bosses family? I've seen this happen more than once where I work.

Tell your boss, be open but not agressive. Good Luck OP :)

Is your intern a major babe??
mif_fml 27
She said "his own cubicle."
xdafuze 12
so yes.
SpicyDuck 22
Yes, he got his own office and OP named his FML bosslady so the intern could be a "major babe"
mif_fml 27
Bosslady I think refers to the OP, as she is a female.
littleking94 14
Yeah and maybe the boss is female. So to the boss he could still be a major babe

You need to say something about it or you'll keep getting taken for granted OP

Maybe you should in-tern ask for a office of your own. But seriously, it isn't right that an intern gets an office when you're supposed to be their boss. Talk to your higher up.

may be its time to rethink your career options.
