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.

    That's the excuse they give you. The real reason is that they don't want employees expressing their personalities or affiliations while representing the company.

    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.

    I say this to in general, but the reason why may be because the work laptop doesn’t belong to them? Are they the kind of person who will doodle and scribble and highlight whole paragraphs in fluo yellow, rip covers and pages, and scorn the corners of a book that was loaned to them? Some people have no respect for someone else’s property.
