Thankfully a veep with a sense of humor pulled the rug out
Now, as it happens, the office had a stockpile of adhesive carpet squares sitting in the receiving dock. They did not match the office's interior, so were apparently of no use to anyone and had sat there for some time.
Ben and Sherm put them to good use, upholstering Jay's workspace – desk, chair, monitor, even his Compaq PC – with adhesive carpet. When Jay arrived, he thought it was hilarious! People came from all over the office to see the plush cubicle. When the manager responsible for the carpet squares saw it, he was less impressed. Waste of corporate resources, and so on.
