I think that the Behavioral Scientist in me kicked into high-gear just as soon as I read your posting. I empathize with your dilemma insofar as its obviously offended your sensibilities in more ways than one. It's difficult to believe that you'd be prepared to accept any pragmatic solution when you offer so many variables in stating the problem. Obviously, your personal self-worth is far too closely related to your working persona and your boss's opinion of you. In addition, for some very deep and personal reasons you also calibrated your value to your employer at a premium and when he made the decision to transition you from a private office to a cubicle you were offended by your interpretation of his message. I can't be quite as blunt as the poster with whose concept I concur, nevertheless, in less colorful language the same point is being made. Succinctly, if you're that deeply offended by your employer's decision to move you from office to cubicle - you really ought to hand in your resignation. I mean, you know as well as I do that you'll never be the same employee doing the same quality of work as you did prior to the edict.
