When corporate offices gripe about employees bringing in home items the reason it isn't received well isn't because the rule is ridiculously illogical.
The problem is that those companies are notoriously cheap. They won't buy coffee makers or poorly maintain them and their managers are trained to act like callous idiots when questioned about it. Really, in general, most employee disatisfaction comes from managers and executives acting like callous idiots instead of actually trying to solve problems.

Managers and executives are usually trying to solve problems, but generally not the problems of people below them on the org chart.

I always remember that the best way to succeed is not to do a good job, but to do whatever will help my boss; either make him look good, or take some burden off of his shoulders. It's cynical as hell, but that's how life is in corporate life.
