It is important to demand a cubicle if you are eligible. Else, you may never get it.
It is important that the desk in the cubicle faces the entrance. You get to judge the mood of the entrant, assess the situation and defuse it before the cubicle explodes. Also, you don't want to use a rear-view mirror if you have to work on your document while keeping an eye on the visitor.
It is important to use privacy screen. It will eliminate shoulder surfing. It will also create the impression that you do work on confidential documents.
It is important to have more than one document open, whether on your PC/laptop or on your desk. It gives the impression that multi-tasking is second nature to you.
It is important to face the aisle if the cubicle is abutting the aisle. This ensures that passersby wish you with a smile to your face and not to your back.
It is important to keep at least two packets of unopened cookies or biscuits in the top drawer. There is no limit to hunger at the workplace.
It is important to occasionally step out of the cubicle and walk up to the coffee vending machine. It is possible that you can then wake up and smell the coffee.
It is important to have a main entrance and a side exit to the cubicle. You will need it to get away and get work done faster.
It is important to be careful while discussing your cubicle size. Size does matter.
It is important to adorn the walls of the cubicle with your achievements, certificates, family portraits, motivational quotes and an appreciation letter from the boss. It's proof that you deserve the cubicle.
PS: what is your cubicle experience?
