I dunno, does your bakery need that cake? Are your tools at home equal or better than the ones in your office?

There’s more to that than the simple example you give.

It's likely "You are an IBM employee 100% of the time" has a similarly complex backstory.

Ultimately, if the bakery explicitly says "stop putting your personal shit in the work display", you obey or be fired. Even if it's a better cake, or your at-home tools are better.
