‘Is this some kind of joke?!’: Undervalued employee demoted to workstation near restroom as an office is ‘above her pay grade’

In the realm of business, there will always be those at the top and bottom of the corporate ladder. It's your responsibility to gradually establish your position at the top. But let us not fool ourselves; the only reason they are there instead of you is because they had the audacity to be born ten years ahead of you.

The employee who was left speechless and booted from her office as it was 'above her pay grade' is recounted in the story below. To put things in perspective, the Original Poster (OP) had been employed by the same business for roughly nine months. When she first started, the employer gave her a lovely spacious office. However, after they relocated so that they could accommodate all of the newly hired staff members, OP's office was given to employees with longer tenure, and she was given just one, lousy desk.

OP was obviously unhappy about this and brought it up to her manager, who agreed that she ought to move her items into a real workspace. However, once OP placed all of her belongings into a vacant office, she received an angry email ordering her to return straight to her desk because the office was well above her pay grade… That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened between OP and her manager and whether or not she was given the office that she deserves! When you're done, don't forget to read the story of the clever job candidate who outwits prospective employers who posted fake job listings!
