There’s office politics, and then there’s office furniture politics.
This story from Reddit lands firmly in the latter.
One employee (@KingOfMooks) brought his personal Herman Miller chair into work during a temporary move—and apparently, that was just too much luxury for the CEO to handle.
What started as a minor act of desk-level comfort turned into a full-on turf war, complete with passive-aggressive morning chair swaps, an apologetic assistant caught in the middle, and one very awkward confrontation.
If you’ve ever dealt with petty bosses or weird power dynamics at work, this one might hit a little too close to home—in the best way.
