Corner office

Posted by R. Berg March 21, 2004In reply to Phrases posted by Fred on March 21, 2004

What is a "corner office" in a company?

What is the figurative meaning of "running interference for sb."?

The "corner office" is a choice spot so it is a status symbol. I don't know about "sb."

You run interference for somebody if you try to keep this person from being
attacked. (At the moment Vice President Cheney is trying to run interference
for President Bush.)

The room at the corner of an office building is desirable, I think, because it has windows on two sides. Such a room is given to a high-ranking employee.
