Clean Desk Policy
Published Jan 01, 1900
My boss wanted a "Clean Desk" policy, so he sent a memo saying that any paper left on desks would be removed at night and we would have to fill-out a form to get it back.
So we left all our garbage paper on our desks every night.
In a week, the boss had an office full of garbage and we never heard about the policy again.
