Weirdly it's actually usually easier, in the sense of less force required, to open from the "bottom", non-stem end, but you end up with a less aesthetically pleasing result.

And when opening from the non-stem end you get more of a handle, and there is less mass on the hanging peel. It's a win all around.
It's also a conversation maker (sometimes you're not party to that conversation) and gets you labeled at the office.
Unfortunately there also tends to be a little bit of a pith or seed cluster or something, at least when I've tried it, I'm sure it's edible, but I suspect the actual skin of the banana is probably edible also.
