How Can I Display a Flag in a Cubicle?
Flags come in all shapes and sizes, including the flags of different states and countries, flags with cultural and religious significance, sports team flags, holiday flags and flags for favorite bands. Before displaying a flag in your cubicle, remember that size is important because large flags will not only be a problem to you while you work but will also distract coworkers. Flags of a religious or sexual nature can potentially offend coworkers, so review company policy about cubicle decor before displaying any flags.
