Desk Inferiority Complex is related to office envy and desk envy. A patient who suffers from desk inferiority complex will be working in a company where the desks are so
small he or she believes they can't work properly and will need a larger desk. The disease manifests itself only after the patient has noticed that other companies have larger, strikingly
bigger, massive, gleaming desks with satisfied looking workers sitting behind. According to Adler, all office workers experience feelings of desk inferiority as children having
seen their
father'
s big desks and spend the rest of their lives trying to compensate for those feelings.
John's desk inferiority complex has become so
bad that he is now trying to use
two desks with the pedestal between his
legs.
