Dear Sir,

I've just joined a new job. I work with computers, my desk faces the wall and I have my back to the entrance door. I have read one must avoid these two situations, I can't change this placement, so please, could you suggest some other way to counteract thisif it's something really negative. Thank you.

1. Usually, facing a wall implies that often, in some instances, we may have our back to a door.

2. Thus on it's own, work facing a wall is perfectly alright.

3. Given that you are new and that this type of layout in some office is common to save space or utilise limited space.

4. Under Eight House Feng Shui, it is considered good to sit facing a good direction. So, if you are facing a good direction (Nice-to-have) and not a must have, then this will be one plus point.

5. Having one's back to an entrance door - often is more of personal "comfort" level, as often, nowadays many work on a computer and the screen is visible - plus often many of us don't like being "surpised" from behind.

6. Some people, strategically place a small mirror on their desktop or on their pc monitor edge to monitor anyone behind us much like a car rear mirror. This is not Feng Shui but considered as Human factor.
