colmomto2 STOP!!! Before you "rat’ her out think hard. I would talk to the manager and tell him that you like your work space, your work hours and you are concerned about clients having to work to find you if you have to change your extension, etc. I would not say anything about the side business. SHE is the long term employee, she is well liked around the office. She may get in trouble, but you, a newbie, will have branded yourself in the office for life. There is also a good chance that management already knows about her side business and are okay with it.

If your work space is that important to you then come up with concrete reasons why it makes good business sense for management to keep you there. BUT do not make it about a disagreement with your office mate. YOU are the NEWBIE, SHE is the established one. Even if you win and they fire her, you will lose.
