'Pay me enough' | Viral TikTok star protests cost of living by moving into office cubicle

A worker claims he was sacked after bosses found out he had moved into his work cubicle, because he said he wasn’t earning enough money to afford an apartment.

As was reported on by the Independent, Simon Jackson’s situation went viral after he posted a TikTok video in which he announced his plans to live in his office cubicle in a video as “a matter of protest”.

In the video, Jackson said: “I’m moving from my apartment into my cubicle at work. They do not pay me enough to do both, so, as a matter of protest, I am just going to live at my job,” Jackson said, adding: “We’ll see how long I can get away with this.”

The viral clip shows Jackson unpacking bags of belongings and turning his tiny office cubicle into a small living space, complete with a sleeping bag.
