Meanwhile, we've got Suits getting guided tours of the building, people who were moved from offices to cubes a couple months ago being asked "do you really need two monitors?"

Ranks up there among the most poorly kept "secrets" but we (managers) are supposed to stay bright and chipper and smiling even though everybody that works for us knows that SOMETHING is brewing.

If we'd just come out and say WE'RE MOVING. A MILE OR THREE OR EIGHT FROM HERE..... people would quit fussing and get the heck back to work.
That's got to blow. I'd have a real tough time keeping a poker face. Good luck with it, Jim!
