This happened a long time ago. A friend and I got relocated from our cubicle to a corner office just down the hall from the Directors.
It was available and I had asked about the chance to use it.
This office was AWESOME! It had full windows on the two outside walls. I felt like we hit the lottery.
The next day we come in and 5' high cubicle partitions had been put up blocking the windows. Another friend was in facilities and responsible for the move. I asked her what the deal was. She said (pointing down the hall) “They (the Directors) didn't like that you all had windows.” (I guess they considered our level to be too low for that kind of “perk.”)
Still a nice office. Or so it seemed. As the day went on and light came in through the windows – and heat being trapped between the window and cubicle panels – it started heating up. A lot. It probably got into the high 80s in that office! It had been turned into a greenhouse!
My friend and I requested a move back to our old cubicle. Happy to get the hell out of there.
(There was a similar story in one of the Dilbert books. I contacted my friend to see if he had sent the story to Scott Adams and my friend said that he had not. I guess this – “this office is above your level” – is not an uncommon occurrence.)
