Use of personal laptop to work from home
My company has given the green light to work from home on occasion (inclement weather, etc) with no company laptop.
What are your thoughts about using your personal laptop to work? I would also love to hear from those that work in IT.

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!…

Hi everyone!
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!
It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month!…

Did HR skirt their job?
I had an issue come up recently where a consultant, and former colleague of our CEO, made an inappropriate and insulting comment to me on a call. I offered to share a study to help his brand and his response was "See , you do have some helpful knowledge in that brain of yours." I felt it…

Nope (I'm HR). I'd actually encourage people to push for the company to provide a mobile phone, too, rather than doing BYOD (when the position requires the regular use of a phone). It just gets messy when a departure happens. Besides, me personally, I prefer to keep my work devices and personal devices separate. I carry two phones (I went down to one at one time, but I got burned on that).
Now, all that said, if they say you have to use your own laptop to work at home, I'd respond with "I don't have one."

Yes, my phone is also a medical device to control my insulin pump, I will not put it on a company phone nor will I use my phone as a BYOD. I carry 2, a pain, but I feel best for so many reasons. I also use a company laptop, we are not allowed to access anything other than our emails from a personal computer.

Keep all your work, emails, etc. on a separate hard drive.
This way you can track your work product and n0t have to turn your laptop for someone to verify, etc.
