As long as there's no company policy against them you're fine having them, of course, however a policy could soon be enacted if an office conflict arises over them.Īt the end of the day management doesn't want to deal with your issues over the toys you display on your desk. Having figurines on your desk is not exactly standard in most offices. So then how do you approach the situation if this is the case? If someone finds your figurines annoying, or distracting, they could potentially be trying to goad you into simply removing them permanently.Īlternatively, if someone finds your reactions childish (not saying they are, simply playing devil's advocate) then they could simply be entertaining themselves by trolling you. You should analyze your past response to the situation and try to determine whether you've simply suffered in silence, or if you've shown yourself to be very irritated/annoyed. If the person/people doing this are not maliciously seeking to annoy you then it will most likely be enough to make it all stop.
Putting up a post-it asking people not to touch them is also a possible solution (you could put it up as you leave, so that it doesn't bother you through-out the day). You could, for example, mention it to your buddies over lunch that you're having this problem, and that you really don't appreciate having people touch your things, then simply let the word spread around. However, depending on your reaction to these things being moved it could also be that an office mate is simply trolling you. Most likely this is not malicious (except maybe for the missing one). Seems like your figurines are simply a magnet for others to fidget with. Is there a way I can catch the perpetrator somehow? I don't want to have to lock up my figurines in my drawer each time I leave, especially since none of my peer coworkers seem to have this problem. In addition, everything else in my cubicle is always exactly where it needs to be, including random papers, calculators, and headphones. None of the cleaning staff are supposed to be cleaning our desks, so I doubt it was someone who needed to clean the space under the figurines. Today, 1 of the figurines was AGAIN lopsided, and all of the figurines were moved from their original neat line.Tuesday, 1 of the figurines was again lopsided.In addition, my hand sanitizer was overturned on the desk. After returning to work on Monday, 1 of my figurines was overturned, the other facing the wall lopsided.Recently, I've noticed that someone keeps touching my stuff again. In November, one of them was stolen and I reported it to HR, but aside from sending out an awareness email, not much was done. In my cubicle space, I keep 5 small figurine toys, all lined neatly in a row and facing me.
I work in a cubicle in a fairly large company there are at least 100 people on my floor alone.
