Yes. They were called toys...

Fidget cubes, pens etc are as the name suggests and expectations are they are used during other tasks for those who "fidget"....

Pretty sure if I started playing YoYo in a Project meeting I'd soon not be in the meeting

No social justice in your meetings then Tom?

Social Justice - Social justice - Wikipedia

Don't see anywhere in there that states "not focusing on the task at hand and fiddling with toys is perfectly acceptable."

The whole concept is of a pandering society that gets **** all done but cares about how everyone feels whilst doing nothing substantial to actually address any issues.
All the while neglecting the simple basics of courtesy, paying attention and focusing on tasks (especially relating to employment).

So put simply, no, work is a time to get things done...

But as a simple toy for entertainment purposes, or a construction project (like building models ect) in ones free time - then I'm all for it.....

There's a web site 3D printing them and selling...

Addictive Fidget Toys | Fidget Spinner Toys

Lachy already has Worry, Beads, YoYo, etc, etc. They all sit around gathering dust, as will the Fidget Spinner.

Lucy couldn't give a Pellican's after dinner mint for any of it.

Tom, my SJ remarks were TiC. It used to pee me off having to instruct people who never had a hope achieving a 'competent' assessment, but insisted on participation, under SJ.
