I keep almost zero personal belongings at my desk for the same reasons. I entered year 4 at my current agency.
I been in this industry long enough. Here today gone later today.
My previous agency gave out free totebags during layoffs to those laid off.
👆🏼You’re fired. Here’s a tote bag for your shit. Daaaang.
Don’t be that dork who has a bazillion tchotchkes, liquor bottles, etc around your workspace. Be ready to pack up and go in ten minutes, tops.
A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
🙋🏼♀️ I only keep snacks
I've watched seven layoffs over the years... I don't keep enough personal stuff to fill a totebag at work. I have a backpack and a gym bag. Photo of wife fits in back pocket.
CD2-were those agency-branded tote bags?
I'm giving notice this week and am seriously regretting the mountain of crap I have at my desk. Going to sneak little bits of it out every day
☝️nice Shawshank redemption style
Everything at my desk belongs to the company. It’s not home, it’s a job. The ride could be over at any point based on your decision or theirs.
Hahahah yes. I’ve thought about this before.

Came in handy
They’ll give you boxes.
Snacks and a few pairs of flat shoes under my desk. Easy cleanup when my time comes to an end! It all fits into a grocery bag.
I keep only enough to fit in one tote bag for this very reason
@CD4 I totally didn't make that connection but thanks! 😂
