In my working career I would walk through the cube farm and see people with photos of family and pets, action figures, etc. This was also common in the private offices. I NEVER brought personal items to have on my desk or wall. Never. This way, when my time was over at that place, I just left with no boxes under my arm full of crap that I should have left at home in the first place. I knew in 1987 when I began my working career that as soon as these companies had a slip in stock price or made a blunder in the C-Suite, they would cut their force and I was just a name on a ledger that may or may not be above the cut off line for lay offs. Leave your dust collectors at home and save yourself the grief of having to deal with finding bankers boxes when the time comes for you to go. And that time always comes.
