You are a new program manager in charge of significant funding and external relations, and due to downsizing issues in your area, you have lost two valuable employees (actually 1.5, because the second person is now working half-time; she used to be your manager and the person you trained). You've just been at your new position for about two weeks, but you've been in the unit for over a year and have seen how systems are managed from your manager's viewpoint. You now hold her job.  A senior person who is not from your region approaches you unexpectedly and informs you that he is taking up the majority of your space. He doesn't ask for your permission, and he doesn't appear to care about your response. What are you doing?
