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

Your IT department is ludicrous. The resale value isn’t impacted by stickers; they’re sold in lots.

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.
