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.

I have. It's not all what it's cracked up to be.

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!"

Touch grass.

Whoa, that's not very professional or acceptable :-)

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.
