It's weird to think that at one point, workers derided the cubicle, the confines of those grey-carpeted walls symbolizing their oppression. Whereas now, anyone in open-plan hot-desking office spaces would trade anything for the privacy that those same grey walls offered—a space to call your own outside of the immediate watchful gaze of your micromanaging boss where you can keep your things and not have to cart them around with you every day.
So, in a way, it's easy to see where this coworker was coming from… desperately clinging to the remnants of a time since passed. But at the same time, that doesn't excuse her from claiming a desk that is supposed to be shared with the entire team and defending it as if her life depended on it while setting it up with all of her personal belongings. Obstinate coworkers like this make the rigors of working even more unbearable, and this employee couldn't help but exact a little harmless petty revenge to get even.
