Management decided that the company needed to implement the 5S workspace management system company wide. In short, one focus of the system is to help you put tools and materials back in the right spot to keep the workspace organized for the next person that needs to use it.
This is helpful for organizing the manufacturing workspaces where different employees would be coming in on different shifts and using the same space.
They had engineering (software, mechanical, electrical) doing the same thing. They sent up rolls of different colors of tape so we could mark all the stuff on our desks and asked us to write documentation about our workspaces. We were all marking off with tape "Keyboard", "Mouse" and "Stapler". It was truly asinine. I left the company shortly after that.
