Pumps' Perplexities

In my previous life, I worked for a few large corporations.......
The goal of every employee was to be able to "swap" his
desk or cubical for a "corner office".....There were a least
four on each floor of the building.....A bright office, with
windows on two walls and a large wooden desk......

To open its door every day meant that you were the BOSS.....
Your underlings only had offices or a "fancy" cubical with
only one window and aways a "cheaper" metal desk......

Today in Washington DC offices are being changed.......The
winners are moving into the "fancy" and "corner" offices
and the losers are moving down the halls to a cubical next
to the broom and utility closet.......

There have only been a few exceptions to the rule but
men (and women) do enjoy the status of a "corner" office
with windows and a mahogany desk......However, history
has often shown that many who obtain the "corner" are
not deserving of its occupation.....Pumps
