Harmless or not?
We share office space with another company owned by my direct supervisor (yes, very confusing). I had a day of on Friday and in my absence my co-worker allowed the executive assistant of the other company to use my office for the day. When I mentioned that it is kind of strange to me as there are other places she can work from in the building my co-worker kind of said I am making a mountain out of a mole hill. I just think it is not professional. A- you could have asked me B- the company I work for pays rent to the company she works for so maybe we should not have our offices used C- for data security and compliance I would need to lock even the smallest scrap of paper up if an outside person will be in my office (My laptop and files are all locked securely)
Should I just see what happens? Am I right to be concerned or is it all harmless?
