    Was this one of you?

    BBC have your say:
    What would you take from your desk?

    If you were told to clear your desk of personal belongings and leave the building, like staff at the UK headquarters of Lehman Brothers, what would you take?
    ...
    10 weeks ago on my redundancy I took:
    1. All my personal bits & pieces.
    2. As much of the stationary cupboard as I could pour into my large cardboard box.
    3. Several DVD's of data & client info.
    4. As many of the data wall-charts (£1200 each) as I could fold up and put in my cardboard box.
    5. My company laptop that I just happened to have left at home the previous week.
    6. Anything else that wasn't bolted down in my office.
    7. Oh, and a smug smile on my face.
    Anon, London

    Not me - I take the confidential data home on a regular basis, in case I get terminated, and they lock me out of the system before I have a chance. ( That did happen to me once, but I was aware it was coming, so I took appropriate action weeks earlier ).
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Sounds like twaddle, to me. More likely clung to their boss's legs as they wept uncontrollably, begging their boss to remember them should he/she be lucky enough to get another managerial role elsewhere.
