I've resigned, but my previous company hasn't collected their laptop till now. Has it ever happened to you?

Is it safe to reinstall Windows and use it as a personal laptop?

Cool, you can keep it then

Return it OR wait for few more(3-9) months, after you can use

like

Yes, probably a safe bet!

My suggestion... Send them an email regarding the asset as one day they will wake up and serve you notice.
They will do this despite the fact that they forgot to collect it... IT department will give some excuse and so will the HR and you will be the fall guy.
Return it , it's not worth it to have a sword hanging in your head.
But, then this is my suggestion.

Send it to me and I will take care of the rest😇

No, send email to previous company to get this sorted. I guess they haven't processed your F&F yet...

It's over three months while I've got my F&F settlement and experience letter.

Have they paid your all dues and done full&final settlement?

Yes!

Which laptop is it? ThinkPad?

like

Yup!

I guess it was a refurbished one that they issued and it was about to be retired so they didn't care about it anymore and they probably wrote it off their books!

They can wake up at any point, so it's better to return it or wait.

Trying to reach out to them, they're unresponsive.

What a brilliant idea

Enjoy!

Which company?

I would call HR. You probably shouldn't use it as a personal laptop in the meantime.

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.
