    This was on my work computer.

    Oh god. The IT department must hate them.

    I wonder if they would do that with their personal machines as well…

      My IT department doesn’t even let us put stickers on the laptops out of concerns about damage

        That’s the excuse they give you. The real reason is that they don’t want employees expressing their personalities or affiliations while representing the company.

          I could see someone putting a sticker over a vent for the aesthetics and cause that’s where the loud noise generally comes from.

          My IT department puts anything capable of storing data into a chipper when its time has come. The guys who load the trucks will throw laptops like frisbees into the steel cage that they lock the devices in between the office and the shredder.

          They probably wouldn’t care if you gave your laptop a tattoo or even a piercing.

        I say this to in general, but the reason why may be because the work laptop doesn’t belong to them?

        Are they the kind of person who will doodle and scribble and highlight whole paragraphs in fluo yellow, rip covers and pages, and scorn the corners of a book that was loaned to them?

        Some people have no respect for someone else’s property.
