Didn't think that one through.
Back in the 1990s after work, we used to play LAN games for a couple of hours - not much else to do in that town in the early evening. While waiting their turn, people might hack out the odd bit of code, or answer phone calls from any late-working customers who might call on the offchance someone would be there.

One day, one of the numerous directors decreed that playing games on office equipment was "Not conducive to productivity" and banned them.

He was apparently astounded when we all started going home at 5 o'clock.

control freaks are astounded at 'work to rule'. After all they seem to like rules.
