About

It’s Friday and you shouldn’t have gone out last night.  You fumble your way in, just ahead of a 360-degree feedback meeting at 9.  By 10:15, you walk back to your cubicle, take a deep breath and look at your empty calendar.  How it all came to this, you’re really not sure.  Until you took this job, professional athletics was in your future.  At the very least, a cushy analyst or play-by-play gig.  No question about it.

Now, you’re a [insert corporate title].

Coffee in hand, every morning you take a look at the latest sports news.  You check your fantasy teams.  With just a few hours to set your fantasy roster before it locks, you pull up any in a long list of “experts” posting another set of random lists, and you realize something… They don’t know any more about this than you do.  Over the next three hours, with the stats, splits and breaking news hidden next to a dummy Excel sheet, you make your own roster decisions.

At this moment -  and in many others – you have become the CubicleGM.

We’ve all said it before: I could do that.  We sit in our cubicles sending daily emails to our friends and league-mates to break down the latest trade, last night’s game, or another PED suspension.  We talk at The Watercooler with our co-workers.  We agonize over point spreads for WAC games we know absolutely nothing about.  We send diatribes to brothers over the ridiculousness of the hometown sports columnist — or their hilarious attempts to understand Twitter.

Cubicle GM is the playground for working class general managers to share, explore and if nothing else, remember this discourse.  With Cubicle GM, we offer our take on the sporting world as six cubicle-chained sports fans, and encourage active reader participation that stands above the normal platitudes.  Our bench of Cubicle GMs aims to include not only our six authors, but also our readers.

If you are particularly fired up about a topic or want to clue us in to something, feel free to send us a full post at cubiclegm [@] cubiclegm dot com (type the normal address, we are just trying to avoid spam) and we’ll be happy to post it.  Be sure to include a brief biography of yourself so we can include that as well.

So, thanks for joining our discussion.  We hope you will find it interesting, engaging and at least a little entertaining.  Keep your ear to the ground, fingers on the ALT-TAB, and an eye on that roster lock deadline, together with CubicleGM.
