Office Space Syndrome

A condition which occurs primarily in white collar corporate environments where deserving, qualified employees are either passed over for promotion or have their employment terminated outright while their comparatively apathetic or indifferent peers achieve financial and/or occupational success.

Peter is frequently tardy or absent from work while Michael and Samir are punctual, reliable workers. Peter is promoted, but Michael and Samir are fired in order to cut costs. Peter has been the beneficiary of Office Space Syndrome while Michael and Samir were the victims of it.

Office Space Invader

Anyone at work who has no respect for your office space, usually a co-worker, who will "invade" your cubicle or any other office space without permission to "borrow" office supplies that they themselves have run out of, or they just want to snoop and say that they're looking for something that they've lost.

Joni: Hmmm, Troy isn't in his cubicle, let me see what he's up to so I can report it and feel like i'm doing something important.

Troy: "Excuse me, can I help you?"

Joni: "Oh, Troy, I didn't see you there." "I was just looking for something"

Troy: "Well, did you find it?"

Joni: "Ummm, no, I guess it isn't here." "It must be someplace else, see you later."

Troy: "That Joni is such an office space invader!"
