hahahha... nice.
At first i thought it was some mean joke, remove his computer and leave a pink slip or something.
Then I saw you went the whole 9 yards with removing the desk, thoguht you were putting in a big plant or something.
The little-kid desk was priceless though.

They already got me.
Two years ago when I went to Hawaii I returned to find my entire office area filled with balloons.
Not one or two, we are talking hundreds...

We have also wrapped everything on a guy's desk in about 200 diapers (with about 50 of them randomly filled with chinese food) when his daughter was born.
And another guy's wife had a singing telegram come to the office during team standup (Male dressed like an old lady got a little too intimate with him).
So the pranks tend to make it around fairly well in the office...

I liked the music.

And that is a pretty funny trick. Did he get his desk back ever?

We do stuff like this all the time.

They got me twice - first time I returned from vacation to find my car completely wrapped in industrial saran wrap....several times over.

The last time they got me they built me my own private office out of cardboard - equipped with cardboard door.
I actually kind of liked it - reminded me of some of the forts I built as a kid.
Got too hot and stuffy inside the large box though.
;D

I love office pranks.
Great job with the video - icing on the cake.

Or as my fellow coworkers across the pond would say "It's the cherry on the ice cream cake".

Back at HS we used to do pranks with peoples cars all the time.

One guy drove a tiny old 80's civic, so at lunch, we all went outside and lifted his car up and put it sideways in the parking spot, wedged between two other cars so he couldn't get out until they did.

We gift-wrapped a teachers car, finished with a bow and everything.
Covered some guy's car with aluminum foil, inside and out.
Imagine how pissed he was once he got the tin foil off the outside to realize his seats were covered in it as well.
ahh.

Best I've done at the office was replace one guys stuff with all old equipment, so a windows 95 machine, with his files copied over, Old keyboard, mouse, old 12" crt monitor, etc. we even foudn one of those old printers with the tear-off sides to replace his laser with.

I notice you're also wearing the game-day shoes.

2 questions:
1.
Was this before or after the layoffs?
2.
Are you sure "Too Much Time on My Hands" is the appropriate song for a company dealing with layoffs?

It was on game day - just this last friday - so after the layoffs.
But we did it after billable hours were complete... so no conflict.
