Your office is always unlocked? Any serious documents you keep there?

When you work for significant companies, if you can't afford a nice conference room they start to worry you can't finance the job they are about give you. On large new contracts mintes new space becomes as much a part of the sales pitch as it is a functional work space. Nice doesn't have to mean ostentatious... It does have to show you aren't operating on the bleeding fringe of your debt limit. The same applies to governments. The idiocy with the US debt ceiling and Cypriot banking weakens their pitch for new business in much the same way.

The sofa got donated to GoodWill.

A fancy office doesnt mean sloppy business. Dealer principles of high end car dealers I worked for had some of the most OMG offices you can imagine. One guy had life size remington cowboy statues in his 1000 sq ft office. It looked like a museum. Another one, his office was even bigger and he had a huge I love me wall ( thats all framed pictures of the dealer with famous people and receiving awards) , the area in his office he interviewed me looked like the set of one of those good morning tv shows. One dealer had very plain office, his family owned the location from the 1800's. He felt he should be around the building all the time not in an office. He was crazy but a good guy, I still miss him to this day.

People complain about the most promenient CEOs spending millions on office decor, but thing about it, when people come in to discuss business with them and do deals it has to be the best.

Same thing when negotiating deals for cars, the higher end the car the higher end the offices should be.

This new lighting is excellent. The employees love being able to see clearly. Those sodium lights have a very yellow look and it seems surreal now on the side of the shop that isn't changed.
Another thing we have started is sky lights. The first 2 of 36 are in now and it improves things even more.

Sky lights that's very cool. When I worked in a factory, it was like working in a dungeon. No natural light.

I don't that feel in the plant. You had no idea what was happening outside.

When we built the last plant that we moved out of I had the designer put 4'x4' clear glass windows every 30' on three sides of the building towards the top. It lets people see what it's doing outside but not what's going on at street level.

That's really nice. The plant in tarrytown for GM, was very old,very dark and hot. I worked in the bodyshop, building the body for Pontiac 6000 and the Buick century. When I first walked in, it was like walking into the pits of hell. lol It was hard work but it was a fun place to work.

Sam Walton was the richest man in the world and he had old paneling in his office. But he also sold cheap stuff so maybe it worked out.

i recall one- john thain, ceo of merril-lynch spent 1.5m redecorating his office while laying off 1000s of employees.

i couldn't care less if m-l let him blow that much, but i would note that as a reason to not do biz with them.

but extravagant spending whilst laying off employees, that's wrong & certainly deserves complaining.
