    You’re in a meeting with 16 people with identical corporate laptops. Easy way to see whose is whose if they’re not open.

      Pfft, that’s what the asset tags are for. Clearly my laptop is the one with the number 2760754 on a… sticker… son of a bitch!

      I’ve never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren’t branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.

        I sticker my laptops.

        I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it’s easier to see in someone’s hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.

        Yeah, god forbid anyone have a little fun in a corporate environment. Gotta stay in uniform.

        I put a rainbow peel off sticker next to my camera just so I had something nice to look at during the endless Zoom meetings. No one but I could see it. Still got a bollocksing because some boomer passed too close behind my work station once in four years.

          Extensively. Nobody has stickers on their laptops. Maybe that’s some “fresh out of college” shit.

            Maybe. Maybe it’s a “We can’t afford to alienate expensive engineers over stickers” thing, or a “We care more about the quality of work than sticks on laptops” thing.

            Must be a fun place you work at. Do you wear a suit to work and work in cubicles?

              I don’t talk about the specific details of my employment on the internet with strangers. Especially with those who are fishing for a fight in which I have little interest.

                Okay, have fun a work tomorrow! Or don’t, as that seems to be your preference. :-)

                  “You must hate your job because you think putting stickers on laptops is tacky!”
