Novo: guys, there's been Labtop theft at the office before, what should we do to prevent it? Normal ppl: better security? Novo: Na, just lock up your laptops and if you don't, we'll confiscate it

Next time my car is stolen, I'll blame the dealer for not installing a sufficient alarm system. Definitely not my fault for leaving it unlocked with the keys in the ignition. #idiot

Why would anyone think it's ok to leave a laptop out on a desk in the office without a lock on it overnight?

Isn't not letting you leave laptops in the office overnight "upping the security"? What do you want them to do, have an armed guard posting up at your cube?

Blows my mind that you would decide to leave your laptop in the office overnight.

Yeah because it fundamentally makes sense to blame the person who got their shit stolen rather than the security system who would let anyone walk through or the dbags who would steal company property.

During the day? At night? When are laptops being stolen?

Over the night. A designated man will walk around and confiscate the Labtop without letting you know... Definitely better than upping the security

Are you leaving your laptop in the office? We are not allowed to leave our laptops over night. If laptops are left over night, they say they will be confiscated and turned in to the office managing partner. I'm not sure if that actually happens, since no one leaves their laptop, but they've threatened it.

But why would the policy even allow for laptops to be left anywhere, that seems unsafe.

I guess if you have your own desk that might be more normal.

To leave it, okay, but not to leave it unlocked... I'm sure some cleaning folks wouldn't mind picking up a few extra bucks by swiping a couple laptops.

I have a great opportunity to really advance professionally and financially, but if I’m being honest, I don’t want it right now. What I’m doing works for my life right now and I enjoy where I’m at. But I also feel like I’d be nuts to pass up such a great opportunity.
