When I worked for FedEx there was a specified amount of space you would get based on your job title. So when the guy next to me was promoted to something that is like a technical fellow they expanded his cube 2 feet. This makes the next cube over unusable so they just stuck a cabinet in it. When a senior manager was promoted to VP they took down a wall and moved it out 2-3 feet and rebuilt it and put in all kinds of expensive furniture...
