‘Take it, I'm leaving’: Coworker demands the receptionist's office after she spends her free time fixing it up, she complies by leaving the company altogether

For some reason in modern offices, an employee rarely gets to have their own office. The concept of 'open work space' in which everyone, even high-up employees, has to work in one big space with no separation from each other.

She asked her boss if she could turn the space into an office for herself, and he agreed on the condition she would do it on her own time, so that's what she did. A week later, a colleague of hers saw her office and demanded to have it for himself, which the boss agreed to despite the receptionist's protests. She didn't stay for long after that…
