We had a situation in some offices in Scotland where staff were asked 'Is that banana on your desk active or inactive?', meaning were they going to eat it?

If not, it had to be cleared away.

Luckily such a scheme here would be illegal as "unmenschlich". No personal items on desks? In Germany personal phone calls from work are a right.

woof.
