I am a supervisor at a company with a temporary workforce of 70%.
Issue: I was moved from an office to a 1/2 cube when I was on maternity leave. I was told months ago I am next to have an office when 1 opens up. Well, 2 are open and mgmt plans to move temporary workers into them. I feel upset becuase I am permanent higher level employee with the company over 7 years. My cube is not suffient for storage, as I am also the office purchasing agent, manager of security, medical and safety. I also manage space planning-the kicker! Any ideas how to broach the issue with mgmt? |

Do NOT approach mgmt from the perspective that you "deserve" an office due to your longetivity (sp?)/"permanent" status etc. You'll come across as a whiner. Think in terms of making a business case for the kind of work space you need.
Talk about the kind of information you must store in your work area - in terms of both volume and sensitivity/confidentiality. (First make sure you're using your current space as efficiently as feasible.) Also talk about what you do that may require privacy - are you helping staff with health claims or employee relations issues? |
