What is Cubicle War?
1.
The act whereby sabotage or decorating occurs in one's cubicle when the owner has stepped out and isn't around to witness who did the deed. A cubicle war will escalate as the first person retaliates and in some cases, activates other soldiers but sabotaging the wrong cubicle in return. Acts of sabotage can be as simple as posting signs on the front of the cubicle - "This Exhibit is now Closed!" - to sending out emails from an unlocked pc inviting people to a free lunch.
Some cubicle wars are tamer - one's space is decorated for a birthday or special occasion.
Cubicle War will be around so long as managers continue to put people into small spaces.
