Ask HN: What’s the deal with executives having a “not” personal office?

  • The idea of there being separate spaces of all kinds for executives is pretty common in larger companies. How how and where they spend their time in those spaces is usually just up to them.

    One company I worked at was acquired and the whole executive 4th floor was empty. Only a handful of people knew that floor had been left unlocked. For a good year it was a glorious place to take a lunch break and use the bathroom.
