An Electrical Engineer wired up your cubes?
I’m impressed with your HR department.
Most companies would have hired electricians for any wiring not built in.
I know a group of EEs that were left on an empty (of people) floor of a major west coast power companies building.
They had a month until the project started to staff up.
They built a labyrinth out of cube parts, then denied everything.

No, it was a client of mine. I was setting up the network at a client site's new location, and to cut costs, they just had one of the EEs on staff wire up the cubicles - how hard could it be for an engineer, right? Well, the guy wired up a hot ground. To this day, I don't know how he kept from tripping the breakers, but it really shocked the crap out of me!
But, we also got to sell them a nice, replacement computer too!

Actually, I do know one EE who I trust with tools. The guy couldn't find a job after graduating with a BSEE, but a relative of his was in the electrical workers union, so (keeping his mouth shut about his degree) he went into an apprenticeship program. So now he's both an EE, specializing in power systems, AND a journeyman electrician. That's a handy combination of skills and education to have.
