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

        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’m not quite sure whether we’re forbidden to put stickers on our work laptops, but almost everybody does. How else am I supposed to recognise mine after leaving it in a meeting room with a few others and coming back a while later?

          I’ve never put stickers on any of my equipment, personal or otherwise … But someone at my work once told me that one could procure plastic shells you can put on Macbooks so you can a. Not damage the device and b. Take your stickers with you when you leave.

      I mean, stickers are sometimes pretty hard to remove and leave behind permanent marks on some finishes, but that’s a hard nitpick.

      I like seeing stickers on employee’s laptops, means they at least somewhat enjoy working here.
