If you ever get popped then your entire laptop is sent off for forensics, and if you delete personal data it will appear as if you were tampering with it and will get fired anyway.
Always use a separate machine for work, and another for personal.
- ajmurmann 3y agoAnd any personal work you might have done using your work laptop now has a legal opening for your employer to claim ownership to, since you developed it using company assets.
- qumpis 3y agoIs this the case in most places (e.g. all of US, Europe?)
- ajmurmann 3y agoDefinitely the case in the US. I don't know about Europe. It can feel silly thinking about this in our industry with laptop usage. However, for the general legal reasoning consider something like using a company server farm or a chemistry lab for research on your side project. The difference is only in scale.
- jordanmorgan10 3y agoI built and sold a company on "Work machine" since I've been employed here in the last 7 years. This setup only works because of the company and the culture. I can sympathize that it wouldn't work for larger employers.
- mountainofdeath 3y agoAlways this. The separation of intellectual property concerns alone is reason enough.
