    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.

          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?
