I had the same office I'm in for 6 months. I never knew the lock didn't work. I rarely used it, but my girlfriend had surprised me at work. She locked the door. I always shut the door when I leave, but don't lock it. But I almost never shut it when I'm here. One of the other partners assumed I wasn't in because the door was shut. And, he walked right in. I had just finished having my moment. He quickly shut the door. My gf left. At this time, nobody at work knew I was seeing a girl.
Half an hour later, he came down to retrieve a folder that he had come for earlier. He insisted we went to brunch to talk. While there he explained that he had a boyfriend and their safe place is back at the office after hours. He is married with children. I'm the only one that knows at work.
He also had maintenance put a lock on my door the next day.
Same question
