Once upon a time (prior to softcopy manuals) we had a (new) manager dictate a "clean desk" policy. Might have been initiated by looking at the team I was in, who knows ... The rule was "no more than 2 manuals on anyones desk".

It is awesome how idiot a manager can be!

A friend of mine once remarked that there is an inverse relationship between the productivity of a worker and the neatness of his desk. I believe that to be Revealed Truth!




I did most of the assembler - so I spend large portions of the following few days going back and forward to the manual cupboards. Drove everyone nuts, and reduced efficiency by plenty.

The rule got "relaxed" fairly promptly.

Good job!




All this prior to Dilbert.

Possibly this was an early inspiration for Dilbert?
