‘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. This concept might have been cute for a little while, but now it seems like the only reason why it's still around is because it saves the company a lot of money, since they can rent much smaller offices.

Which is what I thought about while reading this story of this employee on Reddit. This receptionist was working at a company for a while when she discovered a supply closet filled with supplies that no one was using. 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…
