Hello
Cubicle etiquette is a set of unwritten rules that exist in the workplace. Cubicle etiquette guidelines should be adhered to by both workers in the cubicle and people in adjoining work spaces. Many employees can get very disgruntled if these guidelines are not respected. One of the main factors in cubicle etiquette is privacy.
Although employees are usually part of a larger workplace, they sometimes regard their cubicle as their own office. For all intents and purposes, the cubicle should be viewed as an individual’s office. When entering, do not just barge in and begin talking; the employee may be concentrating on something important. Stand at the entrance to the cubicle and make your presence known until the worker is able to talk.
thanks

Re: What is Cubicle Etiquette?
Hello,
Cubicle etiquette is for you, for your peers and for those you manage. Didn’t see your boss mentioned….
No, you didn’t see your boss mentioned.
Your boss has his own set of peers and superiors. If he doesn’t pick up on cubicle etiquette clues, that’s his problem and perhaps your opportunity. The rules that apply to you *do not* apply to your boss. Sound unfair?
Yes, it is.
Just remember, the rules that apply to your boss are the same, but YOU cannot apply them to your boss. So if she is doing something that drives you wacky, chances are it drives her boss wacky too. Let her boss noticed, DO NOT point out her bad behavior – unless it is fraudulent, unethical or really, really, really dangerous. Just make sure you are always prepared to step up a level.
Thanks,
Amy
