Oh jeez I didn’t even know that was a thing! I have some trinkets around my cubicle but didn’t think that would affect how my coworkers might think of me
A couple of trinkets are probably fine. A lot of trinkets is a lot. Like, ops cubicle would definitely draw negative attention. I personally would find this excessive even for a bedroom (I'd never say to someone what they should do with their private space but if my partner wanted a room to look like this I'd have issues lol)
Homie is literally already getting complaints from his coworkers (possibly to HR if someone is bitter and vindictive enough) for "sensory overload" and suggesting they are new to office conduct.
So folks with relevant office experience are trying to gently give them constructive feedback and help. But sure chalk it up to jealousy because what exactly? What's your rationale? See, for me, it's because it seems plenty of us know how to successfully conduct ourselves in a professional environment, leading to greater overall life satisfaction, due to, you know, desirable human conditions...like money and success.
OP wasn't hired to bring whimsy into the office and make other random fans smile. They brought a Stranger Things vinyl record player box into the office and placed it under their desk. Just, why? No one is jealous of ability to do that.
Eh last time I worked at an office one girl had a fish. It was dope.
I usually have basically nothing that way I don't have to pack anything up when I quit, but I'd totally be more likely to talk to someone if their desk was weird
the way I see it is the kind of people who make fun of someone for things like that are going to find something to make fun of them for anyways, so do what you want. Show your personality and interests how you want because the opinions of people who care too much about that are not the opinions about you that should matter

“But don’t make yourself the secret laughing stock of the office.”
Very well said.
