In one workplace of mine was because the office was built deliberately with glass walls, so any random visitor would see everyone working.

So HR wanted the tables looking always pristine and organized, shockingly the team that made the company most of their money, made a cool castle using tictac boxes, and HR during a performance review gave that particular team a smaller raise than planned, and told them it was about of the "objects in the table looking unprofessional", when they asked if it was the castle, HR comfirmed yes, it was the castle, and they would get further punishments and maybe even refused promotions if they didn't put the castle in the trash.

EDIT: I wasn't part of that team. Only thing I left on my table was books.

I can't fathom why and how any company owners would allow HR departments to wield such power.
