What I did in your situation was get a Bonavita kettle, used Zassenhaus, and Chemex. There's no way to make good coffee for an office without hiring a barista.
For added leverage, Zassenhaus actually sells a box mill specifically designed to hold between your legs while seated.

This particular grinder is for pulverizing seeds and not for grinding coffee (despite the maker's claim to the contrary). With burr coffee grinders, the burrs are actual blades that cut the coffee into consistently sized pieces whereas grinders like these have dull millstones that are designed for pulverization to make nut butters or flour. The result with coffee is that unless you want a fine powder, you will get a huge spectrum of grind sizes which could cause you a lot of headaches if you are using a paper (and even metal if the hols are small enough) filtration pour over system like a Chemex or V60.
If you are looking for a hand grinder with decent burrs that you don't (technically) need two hands for, you could get a Zassenhaus grinder model that has the bowed sides like this. You use the grinder sitting in a chair and you put your knees against the bowed sides (which is why they are made this way).
Other options would be to get a Hario grinder and use two quick release clamps where you clamp the sides of the grinder with one clamp and then use the other clamp to clamp the bar of the first clamp to the table. Or, find a way to mount the grinder to a flat piece of plywood and then clamp the plywood to the table.
You may be able to find a source for an especially large mouthed locking plier that could anchor the grinder to the table without using two of them. Do a google image search on "vise grip quick release clamp" and you'll see a number of options.
