I've noticed a few on the tops of cubicles in 1600 & 1500. Yeah, I know an individual may have an extream sensitivity to crappy fluorescent lighting, but have you stopped to considered how it looks to have one of those on top of your cube. As far as I know you're taking a nappy or reading Little Golden Books in there.

Wow, you millennial Cubicle hat deadwood-in-training sure have a lot of time to do things instead of work! No wonder dead wood needs to be cut. They have hired some deadwood right out of school!!
Where in the F are all of you at in Chevron? This board id filled with bright funny people. Lol at uncle Jeb. I didid the same thing, I thought it was uncle Jed!! But after that I WAS PRODUCTIVE. I paid all of my personal bills. Researched for a new used car....just blew a rod through the engine. And when did Jeep Wranglers become so expensive? At noon, I said to myself I will never buy that, but I will test drive it! So AFTER lunch I did...was nice of Chevron to pay me to test drive the Jeep Sahara. I got back just in time to place a few bets on basketball games. Was ready to open my email when the big pollock knocked on my door to tell me he has done shit for the day ( Gut is the only smart, decent person on the floor) but his georgous and hot wife made Knish. Wow was it good. But before heading home I always like to take a dump on Chevrons time and use thier TP. And the best part I am in line for a 1 ranking before I get layoff I believe.
-fvk Jethro did not shoot a hole in the ground with his rifle, his uncle Jed did. I watched the video today while I was at work. Hanging out and scratching my cajones while I worked at the big house, HOU150. I love working at CVX and researching the exploration of petroleum!!!
Wow, didnt realize the boomers had so much animosity directed at millenials. Guess you feel theatened.
The nerdy heard is strong at Chevron.
All this ergonomic accessory crap costs the company money. But then again, having cubicles rather than individual offices saves the company a ton more money. So I suppose giving a whinny nerd a cubicle tent now and then is no big deal. Problem solved. Enough about cubicle hats (or tents) already and get back to work!
You have got to be a complete nerd, introvert, with body oder and the eyesight of a mole to use those cubicle hoods. In fact, you are hiding as you surf the web on your iPhone and pick your nose.
These kinds of creeps work in 1500 Louisiana and 1400 Smith. But hey, they can make a mean pivot table of old data! Shareholders, look at what is behind the CVX stock decline.
fvk Lol at Jethro. That may be the D&C manager. To your point on expensive. I worked at Alcoa's corporate headquarters in NYC. It was blasphemy not to be engaged and fully understand the field base buisness. My first few months, I said man this costs! The answer back, and to your point was, what do you think the cost is in not understanding a buisness you are managing!
Quit complaining. I have a pup-tent over my cubicle to dim down the overhead lights because I have sensitive eyes. Besides, I cover the entrance to my cubicle with a dark cloth to block out all light and during lunch breaks, I work on my photography hobby developing film and some black and white prints.

You are spot on. It would be prohibitedly expensive, but every hire needs to actually visit an operations site. This is coming from an office dweller who had a rare opportunity to visit a facility and gained a perspective of what it takes that I never had sitting in my cube. I swear half the folks think that Jethro shoots his rifle in the dirt and oil squirts out.
What a bunch of coddled, self righteous, incompetent employees we have. I wonder if the drill site manager gets a well pad hat. I am going to take a poll to see how many of these people have ever even been on a pad or platform???
It's the ergonomics people. They ran out of monitor and chair heights to adjust; they ran out of mouse and keyboard reviews, so now it's cubicle lighting and fluorescent shades.
OP here. Looks like you millennials are a little sensitive about your pup-tents. Not to worry, we'll coddle you some more so you can maintain your self-esteem for the next few months. Right, right, I'll get back to work on my 9/80 day.
OMG.
Get a life.
I have lined mine with tinfoil to prevent mind control by extaterrestrials and the HR koolaid coalition. Seems to be working..or is it?
OP, do you think anyone cares what you think? Now get back in your cubicle where you belong and get back to work.

Typical Chevron over-process mentality. I would just request the electrician to remove half of the fluorescent tube. What a world we are living in? Next I am going to complaint I am sensitive to the factory manufactured paper smell. I only want recycled hand make paper with no smell.
OP - I miss reading Little Golden Books. My favorite is "Mister Dog: The Dog Who Belonged to Himself," which coincidentally may be apropos if you're not happy with your career.

I agree with @ehh. A line of bathroom stalls to work in looks bad already. What difference does it make if someone puts one of the little cube hats on top? Either way, a cube farm looks like crap and makes for a grim work environment.
So glad to work at a successful company that actually respects people enough to give them their own office instead of herding people in pig pens.
I like my bright yellow Shiner baseball cap. Prevents eye strain from the cheap LED lighting that replaced the fluorescent.
Those cubicle hats (or tents) are for employees with vision problems or ailments that are exacerbated by strong lighting. The employee should be required to produce a legitimate letter from his/her doctor to be able to get one.
