She repeatedly used the phrase "You let them have / do that?"
The response was to things she saw at people's cubes like:
* A mini fridge. * A blanket. * Some food at someone's desk. * A fan.
And some random stuff.
It didn't occur to anyone at that point that anyone had to "let" someone have those things at their desk.
Eventually an email went out banning such things, no reason was given.
An annoyed co-worker asked why via email and they were told food at their desk was "unnecessary" because there is a cafeteria.
The only cafeteria was on the other side of the country at the new HQ in San Jose....they didn't respond to follow up emails.
It always struck me that this person who visited's entire role was to enforce some arbitrary rules like they were our parents or something.
The rules were complied with for about a month and as soon as visits stopped, everyone at our location just ignored them. Somehow nothing bad happened just as nothing ever had before.
When visiting the HQ later I did eat something (breakfast bar) at my temporary desk. My coworkers in San Jose we're quite shocked, I was amused by their reaction. We all survived. Although security eventually caught me (came running even) for not wearing my ID "visible enough" ;)
