A little link love for the cubicle culture

It’s high time I reminded both myself and my readers that there are others who like to take a sardonic look at life in a cubicle. Take a look at any links I post here, who knows, they may be able to brighten up your day where I have failed :)

Some of my all time favorites include:

Badbosslogy.  
“Badbossology.com features completely free access to over 1200 articles and resources on solving problems with difficult managers.  To get started, we suggest that you review each of the types of resources below. You can safely email site material anonymously – just click on any content item’s “Email Link” option for details and a preview.”

Jobschmob 
” Seriously, we know work sucks. We know how monotonous and frustratingly hellish your commute is. We know what an unpleasant tool your boss can be and we know there’s at least one coworker who sucks the ever loving life out of you. To help alleviate the symptoms of work rot, browse our latest job stories and post your own (anonymously, of course).”

Do you feel like you’re just a cog in the big qheel that is today’s office? Even the smallest companies have their cubicles and their partitions and their ‘collaborative work environments’ (yak). Here are my musings on my own personal office sentence, some links I came up with to some sources of info and fun products for cube dwellers, and links to my CafePress shop, Cubicle Farm (including an original comic strip). Look for window posters to humanize your cube, great books to help you bone up and arm yourself against the adminisphere, and lots of other cubicle necessities that I find useful (and fun). It’s a CubiGanza!”

I think a cubiganza is like an extravaganza only better.

The Cubicle Survival Guide
Author and humorist James F. Thompson comments on everything from office etiquette to big city mayhem. The man behind “The Cubicle Survival Guide” once again manages to find himself in another unruly and oppressive environment: the concrete wilds of New York City.

Kyuboria 
William is living proof that working in a cubicle is bad for your mental health, and if he ever gets round to it, I will have the full story on his “home made trophy” 

And here’s a few links that will take you to a more “establishment” look at the culture:

Career journal (WSJ)

I love this piece by the Hindu from a few years back :

Working in a cubicle without doors calls for a culture that requires tact and decorum.
