Yes. It tells me what time it is is so I know how long of my meagre break is remaining

Any device that isn't also plugged into a patient in an ICU unit is probably fair game.

The issue is the unplugging, not the plugging
Then you are doomed. I could offer alternatives but I’m guessing you don’t want solutions, you just want to shout into the void. A blinking 04:13 it shall remain for you.

I don’t think it’s doomed at all. The notice will be taken down next week and the microwave won’t be unplugged again. Win.

heckling from the back!
Just a couple of weeks ago, I had to leave a "scolding notice" in very plain view at work.
I had told a specific member of staff to clean up a particular area that he had turned into a tip.
The floor had been made very slippery with large amounts of fine bits of rust almost everywhere.
I marked a couple of the less visible accumulations to see if they were disturbed.
My first and second instructions to clean the place up were largely ignored, although some of the mess was sort of swept to one side.
So, I wrote a very visible message to him, on the door. Which really put his nose out of joint when he saw it the following day !
Guess what, the door was cleaned and the area behind swept and tidied up somewhat. Not perfect, but a lot better, but done with very bad grace and a lot of loud muttering about a bossy boss [which I carefully didn't hear].
I thanked him for the effort and suggested that he clean up the lathe and put a cover on it. Which he did.

Your coworkers are definitely going to unplug the microwave at some point. I certainly would.

no, the xxxxing twat was covering it in grinding dust, flakes of rust and weld splatter.are components getting in the way of production of swarf?
luckily, it has cleaned up well [the splatter was too cold on impact to do much other than lightly adhere]

They can just use the switch instead, which is less effort, and I wonder why they have been wasting everyone's time by using the unplugging approach up to this point.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
There was a campaign by the LFB in the 70's telling folk to unplug everything before going to bed. Some people still follow that advice, in spite of electricals becoming safer and many needing to be left on, such as your router.

No, it has a clock and therefore needs to be kept plugged in and switched on

I'm simply recommending that the clock saboteurs can save themselves some effort (and also comply with the text of your instruction) by switching rather than unplugging.

I don’t think they’re motivated by logic, just habit. So that kind of bullshit needs to be disrupted

yes, i remember that. we got it at primary school - we had a school visit to lee green fire station as part of a fire safety project or something.
why does the router need to be left on? i switch the whole damn lot off at night - must save a few pence from stuff not being on standby.
