Everyone knows that rabbits tend to multiply, and it sounds like your cubicle is proof that this can happen to stuffed ones as well.
Your first step is to literally step back and take an honest look at the menagerie. If your cubicle looks more like a hutch, then your decision is easy. However, if you still believe that your herd of rabbits is not literally or figuratively over the top, the decision might not be so easy, but you still should think about retiring some of them.
With all of the important issues that can create problems for an employee with his or her manager, there is really no reason to stew over this one.
Companies have policies on this matter for several reasons, including a desire to maintain a professional appearance and prevent personal items from distracting employees or interfering with their work. Your manager thinks that you are not following company policy on this matter, and that should really tip your thinking here.
A rabbit’s foot is supposed to be good luck, but if you maintain too many in your cubicle, they might not be harbingers of such good fortune.
