Do you have/use your personal desktop/laptop? My laptop is old and slow, and I am pondering whether I should get a new desktop for personal use. Most of my time is on work laptop and I'm not sure I'll spend much time on my new pc, should I get one. On the other hand, it feels annoying with work laptop that the data is controlled while I want to save personal data there from time to time.

Kind of in the same boat. I use my work laptop for personal use and kept items in a separate folder - not social media, just banking and mostly financial items, otherwise I do everything else on my phone. I don't think I'll find myself spending a lot of time on a personal laptop just yet.

I need some advice. Where does the accountability sit for determining resource allocation of engineers?
